In recent years, the appearance of Chinese popular words not only enriches our internet life but makes the Chinese language more touching and interesting. Most of these trendy words come from the Internet, because most of the netizens are youngsters. Those who are learning mandarin online should also notice what new is popular concerning Chinese learning.

Today, we will talk about "伤不起 (shāngbùqǐ)" which is a new popular expression in China. It means someone has already been hurt so badly that he or she cannot take any more. At first, "伤不起 (shāngbùqǐ)" was only popular in schools and on the internet, but now "伤不起 (shāngbùqǐ)" is widely used in daily life. Some television programs are using this phrase to create dramas. It has even been used as a song titled by popular singers. It’s a pretty musical song and you can take a listen. Using the normal sentence order, the sentence should be "你伤不起… (nǐ shāngbùqǐ…)", but it is now much more common to say "…你伤不起 (…nǐ shāngbùqǐ).”We put the object in the front of the sentence to emphasis our feelings. So students are exposed to many online Chinese words in their life.
