Expressing "thanks to" with "duokui"

Nível: HSK 5 | Categoria: Gramática

Explicação da Regra:

多亏 (duōkuī) can be translated as "thanks to" and is used to express that, due to somebody's help, a negative result has been averted. 了 is often placed after it as it's about something that has been completed. [Good Outcome] ，多亏 (了) + [Lucky Incident] When the good outcome comes before 多亏 (as in the pattern above), there is no need to add in 才. But if the good outcome comes after 多亏, you need to add in 才 to indicate "as a result...(the good outcome happened)." (才 gives the sense that the good outcome wouldn't have happened without that extra help.) 多亏 (了) + [Lucky Incident] ，Subj. 才 + [Good Outcome]
