Expressing close possession without "de"

Nível: HSK 1 | Categoria: Partículas

Explicação da Regra:

Expressing possession in Chinese is accomplished with the particle 的 (de). But sometimes when certain (especially close) relationships are involved, it's more natural to drop the 的 (de). Pronoun + Noun Normally possession is expressed using the particle 的 (de). However, you can omit 的 (de) in these cases: • A close personal relationship is involved (family, close friends, boyfriends or girlfriends) • An institutional or organizational relationship is involved (school, work) In these cases 的 (de) should be omitted. It doesn't sound as natural if you leave it in.
