Expressing "must" with "dei"

Nível: HSK 4 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

The auxiliary verb 得 (děi) means "must." Yes, it's annoying that the same character can also be pronounced "de," but at least when you use 得 (děi), there's no ambiguity like with the word 要 (yào) . Normally, when you see 得, it's a particle and is pronounced "de." However, it can also be an auxiliary verb . In this case it's pronounced "děi" and means "must." Subj. + 得 + [Verb Phrase]
