In this episode, I talk about why elaborating real authentic language examples is ALWAYS better than simplification.

知道 (zhīdào) and 认识 (rènshi) are both verbs that can be translated as "to know" in English, but they have different meanings and uses.
知道 (zhīdào) means "to be aware of or to have knowledge of something." It is used to express that you have information or understanding about a fact or situation.
For example:
* 		我知道你的生日是什么时候。 (Wǒ zhīdào nǐ de shēngrì shì shénme shíhòu. ) - I know when your birthday is.
* 		你知道他的电话号码吗？ (Nǐ zhīdào tā de diànhuà hàomǎ ma?) - Do you know his phone number?
认识 (rènshi) means "to be familiar with or to have met someone." It is used to express that you have a personal connection with someone or have encountered them before.
For example:
* 		我认识你的妈妈。 (Wǒ rènshi nǐ de māma. ) - I know your mom.
* 		你认识他的弟弟吗？ (Nǐ rènshi tā de dìdi ma?) - Do you know his younger brother?

Halo semua! 
Apa yang kalian lakukan di akhir minggu? 
Saya menonton seri televisi Indonesia berjudul "Badai pasti berlalu". 
Sinetron (sinema elektronik) ini diadaptasi dari novel terkenal oleh penulis Marga.T. 
Kalau kalian tertarik, silahkan baca bukunya atau nonton ya! 

Kalian tahu artinya "Badai pasti berlalu?" 
"Badai pasti berlalu" adalah peribahasa yang punya arti, 
masa-masa sulit yang dialami oleh seseorang tidak akan terjadi selamanya, pasti punya akhir. Setelah itu akan ada perubahan atau keadaan yang lebih baik di masa depan. 
Di Bahasa Inggris, artinya "The storm will pass", di Bahasa Jepang saya sering dengar 
嵐が過ぎ去る 。
Kalian percaya peribahasa ini? Saya percaya. 
Jadi siapa pun yang sekarang sedang mengalami masa sulit, percayalah badai pasti berlalu! Semangat ya! 

Selamat hari Senin! Selamat beraktivitas semua! ^^
