| + | #REDIRECT[[Potential complement]] |
| − | | |
| − | Verbs can take [[potential complement]]s that indicate whether or not the action is actually possible. They are useful in Chinese to say if an action can take place.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Structurally, potential complements are closely related to both [[result complement]]s and [[direction complement]]s, so it helps to be familiar with those first. The most important and commonly used potential complements are derived from other complements such as the following:
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Verb + [[见]] e.g. 看见, 听见 (result complements)
| |
| − | * Verb + [[懂]] e.g. 看懂, 听懂 (result complements)
| |
| − | * Verb + [[完]] e.g. 吃完, 做完, 用完, 花完 (result complements)
| |
| − | * Verb + [[Adjective|Adj.]] e.g. 看清楚, 听明白, 洗干净 (result complements)
| |
| − | * Verb + [[到]] e.g. 找到, 买到, 收到 (result complements)
| |
| − | * Verb + direction e.g. 上来, 下去, 进去, 起来, 走过去, 爬上去 (direction complements)
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Potential complement]]s can be positive or negative. What this means is fairly intuitive - potential complements can be used to express that something ''can'' happen or that it ''can't''.
