Hi there! Thank you for writing such a helpful and informative article on the differences between “本来” and “原来” in Chinese. As a language learner, I often struggle with understanding the nuances of certain words and phrases, and your article has provided a clear explanation that I can refer to in my studies.

本來 and 原來 are often interchangeable actually. As long as you use it, you know how to use it!
