How to list adjectives in Chinese?

Question

I am preparing for HSK 6, and its Reading Part 1, which asks you to identify a 语病 in a sentence, is notoriously hard. Here is one of the sentences from HSK 6 Reading Part 1. 周围的人都很羡慕她，说他的妻子很实惠，又能干又体贴。 My HSK 6 testbook, which comes without an explanation for each question, says that there is a 语病 in this sentence. I am guessing that “他的妻子很实惠，又能干又体贴” should be edited to "他的妻子很实惠，能干，体贴." Am I wrong in this?

Answer 1

Any time you need to describe something in Mandarin Chinese you will use the three "D's": 的, 得, 地.

Examples:

那个人很懒惰的。

北京天气冷得要命。

她高兴地说及格啦。

Answer 2

The problem lies in "实惠." "贤惠" is a better word choice.

实惠: (of a product) good quality but low price

贤惠: (usually of a woman) kind, amiable, understanding, skilled with house chores and cooking

The grammar of the sentence is fine, but you can swap 实惠 with 贤惠.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

周围的人都很羡慕他，说他的妻子又贤惠又能干。
