用法
- 'I hear that / word is…' - flags secondhand information: 听说他要走了 (tīngshuō tā yào zǒu le) I heard he's leaving.
- Usually sits at the front of the sentence with no explicit subject; the source is unspecified hearsay.
- Differs from 据说 (jùshuō, 'it is said', more formal/impersonal); 听说 is what you personally caught wind of.
