Modal particle (y\u01d4 q\u00ec zh\u00f9 c\u00ed) \u8bed\u6c14\u52a9\u8bcd<\/a> are used in the Chinese language to express a certain \u2018mood\u2019. Modal Particles are always used at either the end of a sentence or during a pause in the middle of a sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article we will look at the following six modal particles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u554a<\/a> (a)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u5417<\/a> (ma)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u5462<\/a> (ne)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u5427<\/a> (ba)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u4e86<\/a> (le)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u7684<\/a> (de)<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will look in closer detail about how to use each modal particle shortly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One modal particle can be used in a different sentence to express a completely different mood. In the following examples, \u5462<\/a> (ne) can be used to express both a statement and a question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Statement: \u5979\u8fd8\u6ca1\u6765\u5462\u3002<\/a> (t\u0101 h\u00e1i m\u00e9i l\u00e1i ne) She has not come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Question: \u6211\u7684\u94a5\u5319\u5462\uff1f<\/a> (w\u01d2 de y\u00e0o shi ne?) Where is my key?<\/p>\n\n\n\n The four modal particles, \u201c\u5417\u201d, \u201c\u5427\u201d, \u201c\u5462\u201d and \u201c\u554a\u201d are all used to express questions, but there are some slight differences in the level of strength and the focus of the question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Most of the time, a modal particle will be used on its own at the end of a sentence and sometimes in the middle of a sentence. However, they can also be used with other modal particles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u4f60\u542c\u89c1\u6211\u521a\u624d\u8bf4\u7684\u8bdd\u4e86\u5427\uff1f<\/a> (n\u01d0 t\u012bng ji\u00e0n w\u01d2 g\u0101ng c\u00e1i shu\u014d de hu\u00e0 le ba?) Did you hear what I just said?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Each modal particle expresses their particular \u2018mood\u2019, but the focus is on the last modal particle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When two modal particles work together, if the second one begins with a vowel, then it can be combined with the first particle to become one:<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u4e86\u554a \u2192 \u5566<\/a> (le a \u2192 la)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u5462\u554a \u2192 \u54ea<\/a> (ne a \u2192 na)<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u4e86\u54df \u2192 \u55bd<\/a> (le yo \u2192 luo)<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to their position in the sentence, modal particles can be divided into two categories: end of the sentence modal particles and middle of the sentence modal particles. Some Modal particles can be used in both the end and middle of the sentence, such as \u554a, \u5427 and \u5462. Some can only be used in the middle of the sentence: \u4e5f\u597d (y\u011b h\u01ceo), \u4e5f\u7f62<\/a> (y\u011b b\u00e0), \u7f62\u4e86<\/a> (b\u00e0 le), \u800c\u5df2<\/a> (\u00e9r y\u01d0) and \u7684\u8bdd<\/a> (de hu\u00e0).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Modal particles in the middle of a sentence: \u73b0\u5728\u8bf4\u8bf4\u4e5f\u597d\uff0c\u514d\u5f97\u4ee5\u540e\u8bef\u4f1a\u3002<\/a> (xi\u00e0n z\u00e0i shu\u014d shuo y\u011b h\u01ceo, mi\u01cen de y\u01d0 h\u00f2u w\u00f9 hu\u00ec.) Better to talk about it now instead of having any misunderstandings in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Modal particles at the end of a sentence: \u6050\u6015\u4ed6\u5df2\u7ecf\u79bb\u5f00\u4e86\u5427\u3002(k\u01d2ng p\u00e0 t\u0101 y\u01d0 j\u012bng l\u00ed k\u0101i le ba.)

The usage of other modal particles is generated from these 6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are more details on how to use each of the six modal particles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c\u554a\u201d is affected by the previous syllable in the sentence and can be written as \u5440 (ya), such as in \u6765\u5440 <\/a>(l\u00e1i ya), \u54c7 (wa), like in \u597d\u54c7<\/a> (h\u01ceo w\u0101) and \u54ea (na) like in \u770b\u54ea<\/a> (k\u00e0n na).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some examples of how to use \u554a (a) correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u6628\u5929\u662f\u4f60\u7ed9\u6211\u6253\u7535\u8bdd\u5440\uff1f<\/a> (zu\u00f3 ti\u0101n sh\u00ec n\u01d0 g\u011bi w\u01d2 d\u01ce di\u00e0n hu\u00e0 ya?)
