Structure
As well as attaching adjectives to nouns, 的 (de) can be used to attach whole phrases to nouns. In English this is often achieved with "who" or "that", e.g. in "The man who went to Beijing" or "The book that I bought yesterday".
Phrase + 的 + Noun
Here a phrase means Verb + (Object).
Examples
- 去 北京 的 火车。
- 今天 来 的 人。
- 昨晚 喝 太多 啤酒 的 那 个 人。
