Marking a topic with "de hua"
Nível: HSK 5 | Categoria: Gramática
Fórmula Sintática: Topic + 的话 ,Comment
Explicação da Regra:
You probably already know that 的话 (dehuà) can be put at the end of a phrase to express the meaning of "if." It can be used independently, or with 如果, both meaning "if." But it can also be used to simply identify a topic, sort of like saying "when it comes to...." 的话 can also be used to introduce a topic which the speaker intends to say more about. Topic + 的话 ,Comment Sometimes it's a fine line between an "if" statement and an "as for..." statement, as you'll see in some of the sentences below.
