A Few Words, One Job例 · 我和老师一起去买水果
At the market, you can point to a new notebook, say you’re buying fruit, or tell a friend you came with your sister. Each phrase works as one useful bundle: the words hold together to name a thing, an action, or the people involved. You can follow the sentence without stopping to label every part.
我和老师一起去买水果。
wǒ hé lǎoshī yìqǐ qù mǎi shuǐguǒ.
The teacher and I are going to buy fruit together.
这个新笔记本是姐姐的。
zhè ge xīn bǐjìběn shì jiějie de.
This new notebook is my older sister’s.
我把老师说的话记下来了。
wǒ bǎ lǎoshī shuō de huà jì xiàlai le.
I wrote down what the teacher said.
买水果的地方就在前面。
mǎi shuǐguǒ de dìfang jiù zài qiánmiàn.
The place to buy fruit is just ahead.
Hint · 힌트
A phrase can have a few words but still fill one slot in the sentence. 的 often turns a description into a noun phrase; a verb plus its object—like 买水果—can act as a unit too.
