Structural particle "de"
Nível: HSK 3 | Categoria: Gramática
Explicação da Regra:
The structural particle "de" has three written forms in modern Chinese, each with its own uses: There is also a modal particle 的 (de), not covered in this grammar point. Before nouns, 的 (de) is used to mark possession or modification . One way to think about 的 (de) is that it works like apostrophe-"s" in English. Think of this one as the "possessive de " or "noun-modifying de ." This comparison works very well for possession, as it shows how English and Chinese handle possession in a similar way. Just remember that Chinese uses this "possession" far more widely than English. Modifying, describing qualities, and assigning attributes are all handled in the same way as possession, by using 的 (de).
