Ep.167 🍰 Bitesize Basics 🍰 Simple Noun Clauses 簡單的名詞子句
Let’s dive into noun clauses (名詞子句) in Mandarin! In this episode, Mindy and Joeru show you how to use 的 to pack extra information into your nouns—just like English “the book I bought yesterday” or “the man who told me the story.” You’ll learn to say things like 那個穿紅衣服的男人打我 and 那隻在睡覺的貓是Holden with confidence.
In this episode, we cover:
– What a noun clause is and why we need it
– The …的 + noun structure for describing a subject:
穿紅衣服的男人 (the man wearing red)
在睡覺的貓 (the cat who’s sleeping)
– Using noun clauses to clarify the object in a sentence:
我吃了你昨天買的蛋糕 (I ate the cake you bought yesterday)…
The skinny
