Talk:從新

Definition
Hi. I don't think this word should be defined as "from the start; from the beginning". Here is the made-up sentence I use to demonstrate the difference between “從新” and “from the start; from the beginning”:

我從新讀這本兒書. = [I read it sometime before, then] I read this book again.

You can see, its meaning is different from "from the start; from the beginning". Dokurrat (talk) 08:57, 4 May 2019 (UTC) 10:45, 4 May 2019 (UTC) (modified)


 * Isn't that 重新? According to the 現代漢語規範詞典: “從新”跟“重新”不同. “從新”是從新的起點開始（做某事）；“重新”多指以前做過的事再做一次. Dictionaries also list 從頭 as a synonym. I think though 重新, 從新 and 從頭 are probably used interchangeably. ---&#62; Tooironic (talk) 12:16, 5 May 2019 (UTC)
