\"Quantitative<\/p>\n

Quantitative complements \u2013 which fall under the category of verbal complements (together with resulting complements<\/a> and directional complements<\/a>) – are used to quantify the action or state that the verb expresses.<\/p>\n

These complements are divided into: complements of incidence, which specify how many times a particular action is taken; complements of length, which specifies the length of an action or a state expressed by the verb; and complements of extension, which quantifies the action derived from the verb.<\/p>\n

The complement of incidence<\/h2>\n

The complement of incidence is used to indicate how many times a specific action is taken. The four most frequently used characters are:<\/p>\n

\u6b21 (c\u00ec) \u201ctime\u201d
\n\u904d (bi\u00e0n) \u201ctime\u201d
\n\u8d9f (t\u00e0ng) \/ \u56de (hu\u00ed) \u201ctime\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although all three express the meaning of \u201ctime\u201d, these characters are used in different circumstances. \u6b21 (c\u00ec) is normally used when an action is instantaneous and doesn’t last long; \u904d (bi\u00e0n) is used when an action has a beginning and an end (from the first to the last time); \u8d9f (t\u00e0ng) and \u56de (hu\u00ed) is used to indicate the number of trips that someone has made to or from a place.<\/p>\n

With verbal complements<\/a>, these are inserted to the right of the verb being referred to, as if substituting the direct object.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples: <\/p>\n

A group of words, usually associated with movements or expressions of the body, are used within the complement of incident. <\/p>\n

These words can be: \u773c(y\u01cen) \u201ceye\/eyes\u201d, which is associated with \u77aa (d\u00e8ng) \u201cto give a dirty look\u201d, \u77a5(pi\u0113) \u201ctake a a quick look\u201d and \u770b (k\u00e0n) \u201cto look\u201d; \u62f3 (qu\u00e1n) \u201cpunch\u201d, which is associated with \u6253 (d\u01ce) \u201cto strike\u201d; \u811a (ji\u01ceo) \u201cfoot\u201d, which is associated with \u8e22 (t\u012b) \u201cto kick\u201d; \u58f0(sh\u0113ng) \u201csound\u201d, which is associated with \u53eb (ji\u00e0o) \u201cto call\u201d; \u53e3 (k\u01d2u) \u201cmouth\u201d, which is associated with \u54ac (y\u01ceo) \u201cto bite\u201d, \u5403 (ch\u012b) \u201cto eat\u201d and \u559d (h\u0113) \u201cto drink\u201d; \u6572 (qi\u0101o) \u201cblow \/ to knock\u201d, which is associated with \u4e0b (xi\u00e0) (this character is used with a nod of the head and quick actions) or \u6253 (d\u01ce); \u9635 (zh\u00e8n) \u201cgust \/ roar \/ burst \/ rumble \/ explosion\u201d, which is associated with \u4e0b\u96e8 (xi\u00e0y\u01d4) \u201cto rain\u201d, \u522e\u98ce (gu\u0101f\u0113ng) \u201cto come\u201d and \u7b11 (xi\u00e0o) \u201cto laugh\u201d; \u9762 (mi\u00e0n) \u201cface\u201d, which is associated with \u89c1 (ji\u00e0n) \u201cto see \/ to meet\u201d.<\/p>\n

Whenever a verb holds up the completion of an incidence and, at the same time, a direct object can be doubled, in that case the object will follow the first occurrence of the verb while the completion of the incidence will follow the repetition of the verb. If a verb also requires an expectant particle (\u4e86 (le) and \u8fc7 (guo), for example), this is placed right after the repetition of the verb.<\/p>\n

Here are a few examples: <\/p>\n

\u6628\u5929\u6211\u5403\u5339\u8428\u5403\u4e86\u4e24\u53e3\u3002

When the object is indefinite or we find a verb with an apparent object, like \u7ed3\u5a5a (ji\u00e9h\u016bn) \u201cto marry\u201d and \u79bb\u5a5a (l\u00edh\u016bn) \u201cto separate\u201d, the completion of the incidence must follow the verb and not the apparent object whatever it might be.<\/p>\n

The complement of duration<\/h2>\n

The complement of duration specifies the continuation of the action or state expressed by the verb.<\/p>\n

\nMy mother’s friend’s puppy has been sick for two weeks.<\/p>\n

Within a complement of length, when the particle \u4e86 (le)<\/a> takes on a perfect aspect being placed immediately to the right of the verb, specifying that the action has been completed, it indicates that the action continued for a specified period of time.<\/p>\n

Here are a few examples: <\/p>\n

When, within a complement of duration, there’s both the perfect \u4e86 and the modal \u4e86, it means that the action has gone on until the specified period of time mentioned and also the future.<\/p>\n

Here are some examples: <\/p>\n

As we’ve seen, the eventual object in the phrase shows up to the right of the verb that is then repeated; the complement of duration follows the repetition of the verb. <\/p>\n

\u6211\u770b\u8fd9\u672c\u5c0f\u8bf4\u770b\u4e00\u4e2a\u5c0f\u65f6\u4e86\u3002

\nI’m reading this novel for an hour.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, there are another two ways to build a phrase with a complement of duration when there’s also an object.<\/p>\n

The first is very simple: the verb is followed by the object and then by the complement of duration according to the sequence Verb – Object – Complement of duration.<\/p>\n

Here’s an example: <\/p>\n

\u6211\u7b49\u4e86\u4f60\u534a\u5929\u4e86\u3002
\nW\u01d2 d\u011bngle n\u01d0 b\u00e0nti\u0101n le.
\nI’m waiting for you for half a day (I’ll keep waiting).<\/p>\n

The second method is just as simple: the verb is followed by the completion of duration, then the determination \u7684 (de) and lastly the object. In this way, the complement of duration almost becomes decisive.<\/p>\n

Here are two examples: <\/p>\n

\u6211\u5403\u4e86\u4e00\u4e2a\u5c0f\u65f6\u7684\u5339\u8428\u3002

The complement of extension<\/h2>\n

The complement of extension \u201cmeasures\u201d the action described by the principal verb. If we find a predicative adjective, the complement of extension specifies a difference.<\/p>\n

Here are a few examples: <\/p>\n

\u8001\u5e08\u7684\u513f\u5b50\u957f\u4e86\u4e8c\u5341\u4e2a\u5398\u7c73\u3002

\nThe Koreans’ skirts are ten centimeters shorter.<\/p>\n

(In this phrase a difference is specified because there isn’t a verb but a predicative adjective \u77ed).<\/p>\n

\u6211\u6628\u5929\u770b\u7684\u4e66\u6bd4\u4eca\u5929\u770b\u7684\u591a\u4e24\u767e\u9875\u3002

\nThe book I read yesterday has two hundred pages more than the one I read today.<\/p>\n

\nThe apple that I ate today is twice the size of the one which I ate yesterday.<\/p>\n

Indefinite extensions are specified through the forms \u4e00\u70b9\u70b9 (y\u012b di\u1ea1\u030cndi\u01cen), \u4e00\u70b9\u513f (y\u012b di\u01cenr), \u4e00\u70b9 (y\u012b di\u01cen), \u4e00\u4e9b (y\u012b xi\u0113), all translated as \u201ca little\u2019\u201d. <\/p>\n

Here are a few examples: <\/p>\n

\u6211\u8981\u4e70\u4e00\u4ef6\u5927\u4e00\u70b9\u7684\u8863\u670d\u3002
