Keywords
The particle 的 (de) is most often a structural particle, but it can also be a sentence-final particle which indicates that the speaker is certain about what he is saying. When it serves this purpose, it's expressing a type of "mood," and thus is called a "modal particle."
Structure
The structure is:
Statement + 的
Frequently the statement will include 会 (huì) or 一定会 (yīdìng huì) to emphasize the speaker's certainty.
Examples
- 他 会 好 的 。He will get better.
- 你 可以 的 。You can do this.
- 她 一定 会 来 的 。She's definitely going to come.
- 我 不 会 买 的 。I won't buy it.
- 去年 我们 来 过 这里 的 。We've been here last year.
- 我 跟 你 说 过 的 ，你 不 记得 了 ？I've told you this. Do you not remember?
- 我 不 会 骗 你 的 。I won't lie to you.
- 你 的 建议 公司 会 再 考虑 一下 的 。The company will consider your advice a little bit more.
