#REDIRECT[[Advanced result complements "zhu", "kai", and "chulai"]]
As with many resultative complements, 出来 can be used both literally and figuratively.
 
 
 
==Structure==
 
 
 
<div class="jiegou">
 
Verb + 出来
 
</div>
 
 
 
==Examples==
 
 
 
When used literally, 出(来) is quite intuitive, and means "to come out of" (in the direction of the speaker):
 
 
 
<div class="liju">
 
* 他们 绕 了 四 个 小时,却 一直 <em>走 不 出</em> 迷宫。
 
* 从 银行  <em>跑 出来</em> 了一 个 小偷,口袋 塞 满 了 钞票。
 
</div>
 
 
 
出(来)and can also figuratively mean for something to come from "nothing into being" from "hidden to visible", or from "unknown to known". In the last case, it is often used to express the speaker has "figured something out".
 
 
 
给出一些例句:
 
<div class="liju">
 
* 我 知道 你 是 四川人,我 都 <em>听 出来</em> 了!<span class="expl">( by listening to the speaker's accent the speaker has figured out the listener is from Sichuan.)</span>
 
* 我  <em>给 不 出</em> 答案。<span class="expl"> (the speaker is unable to "produce" an answer)</span>
 
* 他 是 个 没有 素质 的 人,这 个 我 早就 <em>看 出来</em> 了。
 
* 你 <em>想 不 出来</em> 他 有 多 坏。
 
</div>
 
 
 
When 出来 is used directly as a verb, it can also be used literally and figuratively:
 
 
 
<div class="liju">
 
* 你 怎么 在 厕所 里 待 了 那么 长 时间,快点 <em>出来</em>!
 
* 考试 分数 <em>出来</em> 了,咱们 赶紧 去 查 吧! <span class="expl">(the exam results have "come from nothing into being".</span>
 
* 结果 <em>出来</em> 咯!
 
</div>
