Are you confused about the difference between Ya-Hazhu, Ya-Idu, Ya-Ye-Zhu, and Ya-Ye-Du? Then keep watching. Ya-Hazhu and Ya-Idu are short distances. Short distances are roughly somewhere in your city. Ya-Ye-Zhu and Ya-Ye-Du are long distances. Those two can only happen in a vehicle. So what's the difference between Ya-Hazhu and Ya-Idu? And I'll teach you a hack that works 90% of the time. Ya-Hazhu equals IGO. Ya-Idu equals I am going. IGO implies multiple regular trips, back and forth, back and forth. I am going implies one trip heading in one direction. Ya-Hazhu and Ya-Hazhu each day. I go to work every day. Short distance regular trips. Ya-Idu and Ya-Hazhu and Ya-Ye-Du are long distances. I am going to work tomorrow. Short distance, one trip, one direction. The exact same difference between Ya-Ye-Zhu and Ya-Ye-Du. Except their long distance. Ya-Ye-Zhu and Ya-Ye-Du are long distances. I go to California every summer. Long distance, regular trips. Ya-Ye-Du are long distances. I am going to California this summer. Long distance, one trip, one direction.
