| − | | |
| − | The structural particle "de" has three written forms in modern Chinese, each with its own uses:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * The [[De (structural particle)#的|structural particle 的]] (most often used for modifying [[noun]]s)
| |
| − | * The [[De (structural particle)#得|structural particle 得]] (most often used with [[complement]]s)
| |
| − | * The [[De (structural particle)#地|structural particle 地]] (most often used for [[adverbial phrase]]s)
| |
| − | | |
| − | There is also a [[De (modal particle)|modal particle 的]].

| − | 的 is known as 白芍的 (bái-sháo de) in Chinese as it's composed of the characters 白 (bái) and 勺 (sháo). It's used to mark '''possession''' or '''modification'''. One way to think about 的 is that it works like '''''s'''' in English (apostrophe s), e.g.
| |
| − | | |
| − | : <span style="liju">Xiaoli''''s''' house</span>
| |
| − | | |
| − | : <span style="liju">小李'''的'''房子</span>
| |

| − | This analogy 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.

| − | : <span style="liju">红色'''的'''自行车</span>

| − | Here 的 is used to modify 'bike' with the colour 'red'. You could still think of this as possession - a bike that ''belongs to'' the category ''red''.

| − | 得 is known as 双人得 (shuāngrén de), as the radical 彳 is often known as 双人 (shuāngrén) - 'double person'. This ''de'' is probably the trickiest to crack for English speakers as it has no obvious equivalent in English. 得 is used to construct various kinds of [[complements]].

| − | 地 is known as 土也地 (tǔ-yě de), as it's composed of the characters 土 (tǔ) and 也 (yě). It's used to mark [[adverbs]], and can often be seen as equivalent to the [[suffix]] ''-ly'' in English.
