What is the Particle \u7684 (de) in Chinese?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, <strong>\u7684 (de)<\/strong> is a structural particle. It doesn&#8217;t have a direct, one-word translation in English. Instead, it acts like a piece of grammatical glue, connecting a modifier (the word that describes something) to a noun (the thing being described).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic formula always looks like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Modifier + \u7684 (de) + Noun<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s look at the three most common ways this formula plays out in everyday Chinese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A. Showing Possession (Like English &#8220;&#8216;s&#8221;)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest way to understand <strong>\u7684<\/strong> is as a possessive marker. It functions exactly like the English <strong>&#8216;s<\/strong> or the word <strong>of<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u6211\u7684\u4e66<\/strong> (<em>w\u01d2 de sh\u016b<\/em>) \u2013 My book \/ The book of me<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u8001\u5e08\u7684\u5496\u5561<\/strong> (<em>l\u01ceosh\u012b de k\u0101f\u0113i<\/em>) \u2013 The teacher&#8217;s coffee<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u732b\u7684\u5c3e\u5df4<\/strong> (<em>m\u0101o de w\u011biba<\/em>) \u2013 The cat&#8217;s tail<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/de-in-Chinese-1024x576.webp\" alt=\"\u7684 in chinese\" class=\"wp-image-61881\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/de-in-Chinese-1024x576.webp 1024w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/de-in-Chinese-300x169.webp 300w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/de-in-Chinese-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/de-in-Chinese-1536x863.webp 1536w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/de-in-Chinese-2048x1151.webp 2048w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/de-in-Chinese-320x180.webp 320w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/de-in-Chinese-520x293.webp 520w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/de-in-Chinese-720x405.webp 720w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/de-in-Chinese-920x517.webp 920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">B. Connecting Adjectives to Nouns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In English, you can just say &#8220;a beautiful girl.&#8221; In Chinese, if an adjective consists of two or more syllables, you usually need to insert <strong>\u7684<\/strong> before the noun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u6f02\u4eae\u7684\u5973\u5b69<\/strong> (<em>pi\u00e0oliang de n\u01dah\u00e1i<\/em>) \u2013 Beautiful girl<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u597d\u5403\u7684\u83dc<\/strong> (<em>h\u01ceoch\u012b de c\u00e0i<\/em>) \u2013 Delicious food<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>\u975e\u5e38\u70ed\u7684\u5929\u6c14<\/strong> (<em>f\u0113ich\u00e1ng r\u00e8 de ti\u0101nq\u00ec<\/em>) \u2013 Very hot weather<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">C. Turning Phrases and Verbs into Descriptions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where Chinese grammar gets incredibly efficient. You can take an entire action or phrase, slap a <strong>\u7684<\/strong> on the end, and turn it into an adjective to describe a noun. In English, we usually use relative clauses (who, which, that) for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u6211\u6628\u5929\u4e70\u7684\u8863\u670d<\/strong> (<em>w\u01d2 zu\u00f3ti\u0101n m\u01cei de y\u012bfu<\/em>) \u2013 The clothes <strong>that<\/strong> I bought yesterday.
