| − | Using [[complement]]s is one of the cool features of Chinese. Since they may be entirely new for Chinese learners, using them can be confusing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Basic Patterns ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The grammar for using an object with a [[complement]] is a little bit tricky. There are ''three'' different ways to arrange this sentence.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The first puts the object before everything else ([[Topic-comment sentences]]):
| |
| − | | |
| − | <div class="jiegou">
| |
| − | | |
| − | Obj. + Subj. + Verb + 得 / 不 + [Complement]
| |
| − | | |
| − | </div>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The second structure is to to insert the object right after the subject, followed by everything else:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <div class="jiegou">
| |
| − | | |
| − | Subj. + Obj. + Verb + 得 / 不 + [Complement]
| |
| − | | |
| − | </div>
| |
| − | | |
| − | And the third is to repeat the verb after the object, and follow it with the complement:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <div class="jiegou">
| |
| − | | |
| − | Subj. + Verb + Obj. + Verb + 得 / 不 + [Complement]
| |
| − | | |
| − | </div>
| |
| − | | |
| − | This can seem very complicated at first. You only need to know about all three structures for listening comprehension, and can just use one when speaking. Also, the complement itself is the same in all three structures, so this is the part to listen out for.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Examples ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | The following examples use all three structures, but all mean the same thing:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <div class="liju">
| |
| − | | |
| − | * <em>中文</em> 他 说 <strong>得</strong> 很 好。<span class="pinyin"><em>Zhōngwén</em> tā shuō <strong>de</strong> hěn hǎo.</span>
| |
| − | * 他 <em>中文</em> 说 <strong>得</strong> 很 好。<span class="pinyin">Tā <em>Zhōngwén</em> shuō <strong>de</strong> hěn hǎo.</span>
| |
| − | * 他 说 <em>中文</em> 说 <strong>得</strong> 很 好。<span class="pinyin">Tā shuō <em>Zhōngwén</em> shuō <strong>de</strong> hěn hǎo.</span><span class="trans">He speaks Chinese very well.</span>
| |
| − | | |
| − | * <em>中国菜</em> 他 做 <strong>得</strong> 很 好。<span class="pinyin"><em>Zhōngguó cài</em> tā zuò <strong>de</strong> hěn hǎo.</span>
| |
| − | * 他 <em>中国菜</em> 做 <strong>得</strong> 很 好。<span class="pinyin">Tā <em>Zhōngguó cài</em> zuò <strong>de</strong> hěn hǎo.</span> | |
| − | * 他 做 <em>中国菜</em> 做 <strong>得</strong> 很 好。<span class="pinyin">Tā zuò <em>Zhōngguó cài</em> zuò <strong>de</strong> hěn hǎo.</span><span class="trans">He makes Chinese food very well.</span>
| |
| − | | |
| − | * <em>啤酒</em> 她 喝 <strong>得</strong> 很 快。<span class="pinyin"><em>Píjiǔ</em> tā hē <strong>de</strong> hěn kuài.</span>
| |
| − | * 她 <em>啤酒</em> 喝 <strong>得</strong> 很 快。<span class="pinyin">Tā <em>píjiǔ</em> hē <strong>de</strong> hěn kuài.</span>
| |
| − | * 她 喝 <em>啤酒</em> 喝 <strong>得</strong> 很 快。<span class="pinyin">Tā hē <em>píjiǔ</em> hē <strong>de</strong> hěn kuài.</span><span class="trans">She drinks beer very quickly.</span>
