- <p>Two of the most common result complements in Chinese are 到 (dào)
- and 见 (jiàn). On this page we're only going to be talking about
- verbs related to the senses ("see," "hear," etc.), and for this
- usage, the two are interchangeable.</p>

- <p><a href="Result_complement" title="wikilink">Result
- complements</a> are a huge topic in Chinese grammar, but you can
- approach them in stages. The structure you come across the most is
- a verb with 到 (dào):</p>
- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>Subj. + Verb + 到 + Obj.</p>
- </div>
- <p>What 到 (dào) does is indicate that the outcome of the verb is
- achieved - what its <em>result</em> is. Without a result
- complement, the sentence would describe only the action itself. To
- illustrate, 看 (kàn) "to look" is the action of turning your head in
- a particular direction and focusing your eyes, whereas 看到 (kàndào),
- "to see," is the result of your brain taking in the visual input.
- It may sound a little hokey, but it really is possible to "look but
- not see," and Chinese makes a clear distinction between the action
- and the result.</p>
- <p>The complement 见 (jiàn) is very similar to 到 (dào), and it is
- used in the same way:</p>
- <div class="jiegou">
- <p>Subj. + Verb + 见 + Obj.</p>
- </div>
- <p>However, there is a difference. 见 (jiàn) is generally
- <em>only</em> used after verbs involving one of the senses, like 听
- (tīng) and 看 (kàn), whereas 到 (dào) can be attached to a large
- variety of verbs, which we will discuss <a href=
- "Tricky_uses_of_"dao"" title="wikilink">at a higher level
- later</a>.</p>

- <p>This structure can be negated using 没 (méi) on 没有 (méiyǒu). This
- is because if there is a result, then it already happened. And you
- need to <a href="Negation_of_"you"_with_"mei""
