\tThis is one of the simplest of all Chinese particles, one which you probably encountered in Chapter 1 of your textbook. The mother of all Newbie conundrums: \u4e86.<\/p>\n
\tThis isn’t meant to be an exhaustive, comprehensive study of \u4e86, but rather a guide as you embark on your Chinese grammar journey (or need a brushing up)!<\/p>\n
\tLet's study the 4 most basic uses of \u4e86 now.<\/p>\n
\t1. After a verb or adjective, indicating completion<\/strong><\/p>\n \tIn its most basic incarnation, \u4e86 is usually placed after a verb (or occasionally adjective) to indicate completion of an action, which usually indicates the past tense. Yet there are cases when it is used to indicate the expected completion of an action, in which case it is not necessarily past tense.<\/p>\n \tExamples<\/strong><\/p>\n \t2. End of sentence, indicating change of circumstance<\/strong><\/p>\n \tBeyond signalling the completion of a specific verb, adding \u4e86 to the end of a sentence shows a circumstance has changed, and a new state exists.<\/p>\n \tExamples<\/strong><\/p>\n \t3. Excessive!<\/strong><\/p>\n \tA truly wonderful grammar pattern absolutely worth mastering, \u592a…\u4e86 is a set pattern expressing an excessive amount or extent of an adjective or adverb. Learn this pattern, it will serve you well.<\/p>\n \tExamples<\/strong><\/p>\n \t4. Able or unable<\/strong><\/p>\n \tFinally, the major usage of \u4e86 isn’t even pronounced le! When preceded by either \u5f97 or \u4e0d, it is almost always pronounced “li\u01ceo“. In the case of \u4e0d\u4e86, it indicates the inability or impossibility of completing the verb preceding it. In the case of \u5f97\u4e86, it means to successfully complete or finish the task which preceded it, or the ability to complete it.<\/p>\n \tExamples<\/strong><\/p>\n \tSo…Remember this<\/p>\n \t1) \u4e86 is NOT equivalent of past tense. It indicates the completion of an action or change of status, and can be used in any tense. It is not the English equivalent of the suffix -ed. Don’t confuse \u4e86 with \u8fc7.<\/p>\n \t2) \u4e86 is NOT always pronounced “le”. In cases preceded by either \u4e0d or \u5f97 (or in words meaning “to understand” like \u4e86\u89e3), it is usually pronounced “li\u01ceo”.<\/p>\n \t3) You’ll learn more by watching 10 minutes of FluentU videos than scouring the internet for detailed dissertations of small grammar points.
