Listen to this exchange.
Mrs. Wise, an American just moved to Taipei,
is talking with Ms. Hu,
who works in the military at the Shays office.
您家裡的東西都到了嗎?
有的到了有的還沒到。
Repeat the word for things.
東西
東西
Earlier you saw that the word 家裡
meant family as in 您家裡有什麼人?
What people are there in your family?
Here, 家裡 means household.
Repeat household things.
家裡的東西
家裡的東西
Repeat, have your household things all arrived?
您家裡的東西都到了嗎?
您家裡的東西都到了嗎?
Try saying it ahead of the speaker.

Try it again.
This time you get a confirmation and a reply.

東西
Let's listen to the reply again.
有的到了有的還沒到。
Repeat the word for some.
有的有的
Repeat some have arrived.
有的到了有的到了
Repeat some haven't arrived yet.
有的還沒到
有的還沒到
The word有的 some is made up of the verb 有 and the marker 得.
有的 must be understood to go along with the noun although here it's deleted.
This is similar to English where we can say either some things have arrived or some have arrived.
In Chinese you can say either 有的東西到了 or 有的到了.
Repeat some have arrived some haven't arrived yet.
有的到了有的還沒到
有的到了有的還沒到
This word for some 有的 always occurs before the verb.
Try responding to the question now.
Answer that some have arrived and some haven't arrived yet.
您家裡的東西都到了嗎?
有的到了有的還沒到
Again
您家裡的東西都到了嗎?

Mrs. Weiss continues.

Repeat yesterday I bought some dishes.

昨天我買了一點盤子完
昨天我買了一點盤子完
昨天我買了一點盤子完
昨天我買了一點盤子完
昨天我買了一點盤子完
Murky Luh 證明了一個完美完美的表現
Its a verb with the amount object following.
Notice that the object here states the amount, even if indefinitely, some dishes.
How do you say, yesterday I bought some dishes?
昨天我买了一片盘子碗。
Here's another way you might be asked what was bought. Listen.
我买饭碗了。
Repeat the word for rice bowl.
饭碗。
饭碗。
Repeat, I bought rice bowl.
我买饭碗了。
我买饭碗了。
Completed action 了, shows up in different spots in the sentence, depending on what type of object it occurs with.
It follows a non-amount object such as 饭碗, where the number of rice bowls is not mentioned.
It does not follow an amount object such as 饭碗, but follows the verb instead.
How do you say, I bought rice bowls?
我买饭碗了。
Now try responding to the question yourself. Say that you bought rice bowls.
你买什么了?
我买饭碗了。
Again 你买什么了?
我买饭碗了。
Now Mrs. Weiss and Mrs. Hu will continue.
你买了多少?
我买了十个饭碗,十个大盘子。
Repeat the word for plate 盘子。
盘子。
Repeat 十个大盘子。
十个大盘子。
十个大盘子。
Repeat, I bought ten rice bowls and ten large plates.
我买了十个饭碗,十个大盘子。
我买了十个饭碗,十个大盘子。
Notice again that the marker love for completed action is directly after the verb.
How do you say I bought ten rice bowls?
我买了十个饭碗。
How do you say I bought ten large plates?
我买了十个大盘子。
Try responding to the question yourself now. Say you bought ten rice bowls and ten large plates.
你买什么了?
我买了十个饭碗,十个大盘子。
Again.
你买什么了?
我买了十个饭碗,十个大盘子。
Now let's take a look at the two questions about purchases.
Repeat the question what did you buy?
你买什么了?
你买什么了?
Notice that the completed action marker love is at the end of the sentence.
How do you say what did you buy?
你买什么了?
Try it again. This time you'll get a confirmation and a reply.
你买什么了?我买饭碗了。
Again.
你买什么了?我买饭碗了。
Now let's look at the other question that was used.
Repeat how much did you buy?
你买了多少?
Since多少 does ask for an amount, it counts as an amount object and the marker love is directly up to the verb.
Try asking the question yourself, you'll get a reply.
How much did you buy?
你买了多少?我买了十个饭碗。Again.
你买了多少?我买了十个饭碗。
Here's a chance for you to practice using the completed action love with objects.
Try putting the following sentences into Chinese.

Now let's return to the conversation between Mrs. Weiss and Mrs. Hu.
那些盘子碗是什么颜色的?是蓝的。
Repeat their blue ones.是蓝的。是蓝的。
Notice that the answer is their blue ones, not their blue.
With most adjectival verbs like 贵, you can say 这个贵 or 这个是贵的.This is expensive.
But this isn't true with color words.
You have to say they are blue ones.
Tromb responded to the question yourself now.
You bought blue dishes.那些盘子碗是什么颜色的?是蓝的。
Again,那些盘子碗是什么颜色的?是蓝的。
What word for color?颜色。颜色。
Repeat the question. What color are those dishes?那些盘子碗是什么颜色的?那些盘子碗是什么颜色的?
Notice the use of the marker d after the word color. The answer. The question really asks. Those dishes are what color ones?
How do you say what color are those dishes?那些盘子碗是什么颜色的?
Try asking the question again. This time you'll get a reply.

啊,我也喜欢蓝的。
Mrs. Weiss and Mrs. Ho continue.Mrs. Weiss is talking about the first company where she bought the dishes.
啊,她卖的东西真好看。
So far, you've seen the marker 德 put at the end of words such as 家里 so that they can modify something as in 家里的东西.
Now you see that the marker 德 can come at the end of a sentence such as 她们卖,and make a modifier out of it,as in 她们卖的东西.Repeat the things they sell.她们卖的东西.她们卖的东西.
This phrase 她们卖的东西,because the subject of the larger sentence.Repeat the things they sell are really good looking. 她们卖的东西真好看。
