"的"字短语

HSK 2Lesson 3
The "的" Phrase Standing for a Noun
结构Pattern
……的=……的 + 名词 Noun
红色的=红色的衣服
我的=我的杯子
昨天买的=昨天买的手表
解释Explanation

名词、代词、形容词或者动词短语后面加"的",可以代替前面说过的或者大家都知道的名词。比如"红色的"就是"红色的手表","我的"就是"我的书"。

When everyone already knows what thing you mean, you can drop the noun and keep only the description + 的. 红色的 = "the red one", 我的 = "mine", 昨天买的 = "the one (I) bought yesterday". The description can be a color, a pronoun, a noun or a whole verb phrase. The 的 phrase works like a noun: it can be a subject (红的是我的) or come after 是 (这块手表是新的).
