format: Phrase + 的 + Noun

HSK: 2
format: Phrase + 的
example: 妈妈 做 的
details: to drop the noun from the pattern, and just use the "Noun + 的 (de)." This is kind of like saying "what Mom made" or "the red one" in English. In Chinese the 的 (de) serves the same purpose as the English word "what." By using this pattern, you can avoid repeating the same noun over and over again unnecessarily. Just be sure the other person is already clear about the "what" you're referring to when using this pattern!

keyword: [的]
class: undefined,u

HSK: 2
format: 最 + [Psychological Verb] + Obj. (+ 了)
example: 你 最 怕 什么？
details: Although you could translate it as "like the best," pairing 最 (zuì) with the psychological verb 喜欢 (xǐhuan) is also a great way to talk about one's "favorite."
exception: [Psychological Verb] such as 喜欢, 怕, 爱, 了解, 讨厌
keyword: 最 (+ 了)
