My colleague told me, “If you rest well, you’ll work better too.” I thought — that really makes sense! Let’s learn how to say “makes sense / that’s true” in Chinese.

有道理 (yǒu dàolǐ)

Hello，大家好，我是Janine。
Hello, dàjiā hǎo, wǒ shì Janine.Hello everyone, I’m Janine.

昨天我在跟同事聊天。
Zuótiān wǒ zài gēn tóngshì liáotiān.Yesterday I was chatting with a colleague.

我说最近工作太多了，真想休息一下。
Wǒ shuō zuìjìn gōngzuò tài duō le, zhēn xiǎng xiūxi yí xià.I said, “There’s been so much work lately. I really need a break.”

同事笑着说：“你休息好了，工作也会做得更好。”
Tóngshì xiào zhe shuō: “Nǐ xiūxi hǎo le, gōngzuò yě huì zuò de gèng hǎo.”My colleague smiled and said, “If you rest well, you’ll work better too.”

我一听，觉得她说得真有道理**。****Wǒ yì tīng, juéde tā shuō de zhēn yǒu dàolǐ.When I heard that, I thought, “That really makes sense.”
