Expressing possession with "de"
Revision as of 06:17, 22 November 2011 by Jonathan.pope (talk | contribs)
In Chinese, possession is marked with the particle 的. This particle work's in a similar way to 's (apostrophe s) in English, but is used much more widely.
The structure is:
Noun 1 + 的 + Noun 2
Some examples:
- 我 的 啤酒。
- 你 的 葡萄酒。
- 他 的 书。
- 他们 的 东西。
- 小李 的 手机。
