The structure you come across the most is a verb with \u5230 (d&agrave;o):<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>  \tWhat \u5230 does is indicate that the outcome of the verb is achieved &#8211; what its result is. Without a result complement, the sentence would describe only the action itself. To illustrate, \u60f3 &quot;to think&quot; is the action of thinking, whereas \u60f3\u5230 &quot;to think (of something)&quot; is a the result of that process.<\/p>\n<p>  \tThe complement \u89c1 is very similar to \u5230, and it is used in the same way:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>  \tHowever, \u89c1 is generally only used after verbs involving sense, like \u542c and \u770b, whereas \u5230 can be attached to a large variety of verbs.<\/p>\n<p>  \tAs in the last sentence, this structure can be negated using \u6ca1.<\/p>\n<p>  \t<strong>Examples <\/strong>  \t<\/p>\n<div>N\u01d0 t\u012bn\u0261 ji&agrave;n le m\u0251?<br \/>  \t\u4f60 \u542c \u89c1 \u4e86 \u5417\uff1f<\/div>\n<div>Did you hear it?<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p><div>W\u01d2 m\u01cei d&agrave;o le y\u012b xi\u0113 l&oacute;n\u0261 xi\u0101.<br \/>  \t\u6211 \u4e70 \u5230 \u4e86 \u4e00 \u4e9b \u9f99\u867e\u3002<\/div>\n<div>I bought some lobsters.<\/div>\n<p>  \t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-4128320839\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two of the most common result complements in Chinese are \u5230 (d&agrave;o) and \u89c1 (ji&agrave;n).
