Expressing possession

Let's talk about the main possession marker in Chinese: 的. 的 marks possession in Chinese, and is simple to use.


Structure


It works like this:


Noun 1 的 Noun 2
Noun 2 belongs to Noun 1.


Example


我 的 书。My book.


Expressing close possession


When talking about close or obvious possession, 的 can be omitted.


Structure


You can particularly omit using 的 when talking about personal relationships such as family and close friends.


Example


我 妈妈。
My mom.


我 妈妈 的 朋友。
My mom’s friend.

我 妈妈 的 书。
My mom's book.
