Particle 的 (de)
Particle 的 (de)
的 (de) is a particle which shows possession.
We already learn the word 我: wǒ (I), 你: nǐ (you),您: nín (you, honorific form of 你: nǐ),他: tā (he) , and 她: tā (she).
If we add the word 的 (de), then they become:
我的 : wǒde, 你的: nǐde,您的: nínde,他的 : tāde, and 她的: tāde.
Then the meaning become:
我的 : wǒde (my)
你的: nǐde (your)
您的: nínde (your)
他的 : tāde (his)
她的: tāde (her)
Let’s make some sentences using the particle 的 (de):
- 我是你的朋友。Wǒ shì nǐ de péngyǒu. I am your friend.
- 他是wi的老师。Tā shì wǒ de lǎoshī. He is my teacher.
