A "complement" is something that follows a verb/adjective and conveys exactly what the speaker intended. Complements are used to supplement and clarify the meanings of verbs/adjectives that cannot be fully explained. It is a unique Chinese usage.

7-1 Usage of result complement

Result Complement

  • A "result complement" is a complement that expresses the result of an action.
  • It is used in the form of "verb + result complement (some monosyllabic verbs (one-letter verbs)/adjectives)".
  • The "result complement" is integrated with the verb to form a "compound verb" in a broad sense.
  • "Verb + result complement" is a compound verb, so the object following the verb and the aspect particle "了" are added after "verb + result complement".
  • The result complement summarizes what happened as a result of performing some action.
  • For example, the action "listen" + result "understand", that is, "understand by listening" is expressed in the form of "verb + result complement".

For example, "我听懂了他的话。I understood what he said."
“听” is a verb that means “listen”, and “懂” is a result complement that means “to come to understand”. Together, it's "listen and understand".

Hello everyone. I'm Chappie. I see, "我听懂了他的话。" means "I heard what he said, and I understood." "了" in "听懂了" is an "aspect particle" that expresses the realization and completion of an action. We have studied at Lesson 5 (Particle "了").

7-2 "Verb + 在 (Result Complement) + Place (Object)"

  • 我住在日本。➡我(subject)+住在(verb+result complement)+日本(place[object])。
Actually I live in Japan.
其实我是住在日本的。
qí shí wǒ shì zhù zài rì běn de 。
