  173. ''Also known as: 离合词 (líhécí) and verb-object phrase.''
  174. &quot;Separable verbs&quot; get their name from their ability to &quot;separate&quot; into two parts (a [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Verb verb] part and an [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Object object] part), with other words in between. In fact, you could also simply call separable verbs &quot;verb-object [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/Phrase phrases].&quot;

  196. Purely from the &quot;separable&quot; aspect, Mandarin's separable verbs have a counterpart in English: phrasal verbs (also called two-word verbs). While the grammatical components of English's phrasal verbs are different, the &quot;separable&quot; quality works in a very similar way. Take the phrasal verb &quot;check out&quot; for example:
  197. * '''Check out''' my new computer.
  198. * '''Check''' my new computer '''out'''.
  199. Do you see what happened there? The verb &quot;check out&quot; can split into two parts (a ''verb'' and a ''preposition''), and other words can go in between those two parts. Separable verbs work much the same way in Chinese, except that the two parts are a ''verb'' and an ''object'' (a noun).
  200. Let's look at a typical example in Chinese, using the verb 见面, meaning &quot;to meet.&quot; 见 is the verb; 面 is the object, literally meaning &quot;face.&quot;
  201. <div class="liju">
  202. * 我 想 ''见面'' '''你''' 。<span class="pinyin">Wǒ xiǎng ''jiànmiàn'' '''nǐ'''.</span>
  203. * 我 想 ''见'' '''你''' 。<span class="pinyin">Wǒ xiǎng ''jiàn'' '''nǐ'''.</span>
  204. * 我 想 '''跟''' 你 ''见面'' 。<span class="expl">the prepositional phrase, literally &quot;with you,&quot; comes before the verb</span><span class="pinyin">Wǒ xiǎng '''gēn''' nǐ ''jiànmiàn''.</span>
  205. </div>
  206. Perhaps the most common examples of separable verbs that beginners struggle with are 见面 and 睡觉. For a more complete list, see the [https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/List_of_separable_verbs list of separable verbs].
  207. Below we will introduce separable verbs in more detail, provide more examples, and also offer more specific cases of where separable verbs can get tricky.
  208. == <span id="Why_Use_Them" class="mw-headline">Why Use Them</span> ==
  209. If separable verbs are simply verb-object phrases, then why the special name? It's because there are some special features of Chinese verb-object phrases worth special attention, and the name &quot;separable verbs&quot; helps call attention to this. Mastering separable verbs can be a little tricky and is an essential objective of the intermediate ([https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/B1 B1]) level learner of Chinese.
  210. Separable verbs are just one of those things you can't avoid. Many extremely common verbs, such as &quot;to sleep&quot; (睡觉) or &quot;to meet&quot; (见面) are separable verbs, and until you understand which verbs are separable verbs and how they work, you'll forever be making mistakes with these verbs, even in very basic sentences.
  211. == <span id="Basic_Usage" class="mw-headline">Basic Usage</span> ==
  212. First, you need to understand the structure of separable verbs. Most separable verbs are a &quot;Verb + Object&quot; (the object is a noun) construct. One might wonder, then, why there needs to be a separate category called &quot;separable verbs&quot; instead of just thinking of them as a verb and an object. There are several reasons to think of them as special verbs:
  213. # Many separable verbs can't be easily translated into other languages in a way that makes both the verb and the object part clear. For instance, 见面 (to meet) and 结婚 (to get married) are such examples. In these examples, it's just not easy to think of the objects as an object.
  214. # The relationship between the verb and the object in a separable verb pair is very close; adding the object to the verb is sort of the &quot;default form&quot; of the verb, even if the verb part can be used without the object.
  215. # Separable verbs are a source of frequent errors from learners of Chinese. No matter how you think of them, it's good to give these &quot;words&quot; or &quot;phrases&quot; extra attention to make your Chinese more natural.
  216. '''The key to using separable verbs correctly is to remember that they are &quot;Verb + Object&quot; constructs.''' The verb alone must be treated as a verb, and the object cannot be treated as a verb. It's from this essential relationship that the following principles flow:
  217. === <span id="Common_Examples" class="mw-headline">Common Examples</span> ===
  218. * 帮忙 (bāngmáng) to help; to do a favor
  219. 帮 is the verb; 忙 is the object, meaning &quot;a favor.&quot;
  220. <div class="liju">
  221. * 我们 可以 ''帮忙'' 你 。<span class="pinyin">Wǒmen kěyǐ ''bāngmáng'' nǐ.</span>
  222. * 我们 可以 ''帮 你'' 。<span class="pinyin">Wǒmen kěyǐ ''bāng nǐ''.</span><span class="trans">We can help you.</span>
  223. * 我们 可以 ''帮忙'' 。<span class="pinyin">Wǒmen kěyǐ ''bāngmáng''.</span><span class="trans">We can do (you) this favor.</span>
  224. If you want to ask someone to do you a favor, check this out:
  225. * 你 可以 帮 ''我'' '''一个 忙''' 吗 ?<span class="pinyin">Nǐ kěyǐ bāng ''wǒ'' '''yī gè máng''' ma?</span><span class="trans">Can you do me a favor?</span>
  226. </div>
  227. * 结婚 (jiéhūn) to get married
  228. 结 is the verb; 婚 acts as the object, meaning &quot;marriage.&quot; However, 婚 cannot be used as a noun very much.
  229. <div class="liju">
  230. * 我 想 ''结婚'' 她 。<span class="pinyin">Wǒ xiǎng ''jiéhūn'' tā.</span>
  231. * 我 想 '''跟''' 她 ''结婚'' 。<span class="expl">the prepositional phrase, literally &quot;with her,&quot; comes before the verb</span><span class="pinyin">Wǒ xiǎng '''gēn''' tā ''jiéhūn''.</span><span class="trans">I want to get married to her.</span>
  232. </div>
  233. * 聊天 (liáotiān) to chat; to talk (about things in general)
  234. 聊 is the verb; 天 acts as the object.
  235. <div class="liju">
