<p>The particle 的 (de) is most often a <a href="structural_particle" title="wikilink">structural particle</a>, but it can also be a sentence-final particle which indicates that the speaker is certain about what he is saying. When it serves this purpose, it's expressing a type of &quot;mood,&quot; and thus is called a &quot;modal particle.&quot;</p>
<h2 id="structure">Structure</h2>
<p>The structure is:</p>
<div class="jiegou">
<p>Statement + 的</p>
</div>
<p>Frequently the statement will include 会 (huì) or 一定会 (yīdìng huì) to emphasize the speaker's certainty.</p>
