今天星期六,但我早上5点3刻起床。

我还找不到中文的四格漫画。我用四格漫画来练习阅读。

  • Is this understandable and correct?
    Intended meaning:
    ||Today it's saturday, but I still got up at 5:45 in the morning.||

||I'm still looking for chinese 4koma manga. I need them to practise reading.||

  • Additional question: how can I join the two sentences of the second line? Like ||I'm still looking for chinese 4koma manga, which I use to practise reading. / I'm still looking for ... manga to practise reading.||

Understandable but can be better

今天星期六,但我还是早上5点45/差一刻6点起了床 (we don't say 3刻)

我想找些中文的四格漫画练习阅读,但还没找着/还在找

thanks!

we don't say 3刻
could that be something that varies by region? I read on chinese grammar wiki that it's one way to do it

I just came to this server because I want to chat and ask some English questions. If there is anything impolite, please believe that I did not mean it.
"3刻" in the expression of time, I guess all Chinese people can understand, and will not find it strange.
But the number of people who say that should be relatively small, probably because 45 is not a very neat number?
It's a question of language habits.
Questions about manga. I guess you could say, "我还在找用来练习阅读的中文漫画。"
Because, "still looking for" doesn't seem like "找不到"? "找不到" looks more like "can't find".

In addition, if you really look for Chinese 4koma manga, I can recommend it to you, but 4koma manga usually contain some very local jokes, if you don't understand Chinese, some parts are likely to be difficult to understand.

This is a series of comics, it is difficult to see the full set on the Internet.
And it's not just 4koma, there are occasional short stories.

You can take a look at this.

I have to admit that it's not typical, because it's four cells in a sequence, and about two-fifths of it is divided into smaller cells.
