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)
- 那個送你T shirt的朋友就是我 (The friend who gave you that T-shirt is me)
- – How to place your descriptive phrase before 的 for clear, natural speech
🗣 Listener Challenge:
Pick something around you—a book, a snack, or even a pet—and describe it in Mandarin with a noun clause. For example: 這本我上個月買的書很好看。Share your sentence in the comments or tag us @bitesize.chinese on Instagram!
