greenleaf1348 Posted January 19, 2009 at 10:16 AM Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 at 10:16 AM do you write 你跟我开的一样快。 or 你跟我开得一样快。 I'm confused ><, there's 快 so I want to use 得 (as in 我开得很快）but it's MY (and HIS) driving so I want to use 的。。。 I'd pick 得 because I could also say: 你开车开得跟我一样快 and here I would def. use 得 but is that correct?

gougou Posted January 19, 2009 at 10:34 AM Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 at 10:34 AM but it's MY (and HIS) drivingNo, it's not. While you can make a noun from a verb in English, that's not possible in Chinese (not as a general rule, anyway). So you don't use 的, but 得 as you rightly point out below.

jiangping Posted January 19, 2009 at 10:24 PM Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 at 10:24 PM Hey, Yep, it should be 得. The sentence isn't really saying "my driving" and "his driving", because 开 is a verb here: "you drive as quickly as me". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Music&MeForever Posted January 21, 2009 at 01:05 PM Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 at 01:05 PM Right, after any verb or adjective it's always 得, it's used to introduce a complement of result or degree: with verb: 他写字写得非常好 with adjective: 天气热得很 的 is used after nouns to indicate possession or attribute: 他的书 蓝色的月亮 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xiaocai Posted January 24, 2009 at 05:28 AM Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 at 05:28 AM 的 is used after nouns to indicate possession or attribute: Shouldn't it be "before nouns"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
