HSK Level 1 Vocabulary - Implementation on July 1, 2021 新中文水平等级标准（2021年）
In this video, I will introduce 14 Verb-Complement Type Separable Words 动补型离合词 of HSK level 1. This type of words can be separated into two parts -- Verb and Complement. 得 or 不 can be placed between these two parts.
打开,看见,听见,得到,看到,听到,找到,起来,进来,回来,出来,进去,回去,出去
打开 is a Verb-Complement Type Separable Word 动补型离合词. The result complement 开 is used after the verb. The word means to open up something.
The aspect particle 了 is put after the whole separable verb to express the completion of an action.
打得开: The Potential complement contains 得 and the result complement, to show the result of the action is possible.
打不开: The negative form of potential complement contains 不 and the result complement, to show the result of the action is not possible.
打开过: 过 is an experienced action marker after the separable verb.
Unlike verb-object type separable verbs, in verb-complement type separable verbs, the aspect particles 了, 过 and the object are placed after the whole separable verb, not between the two parts.
As a result complement, 见 is usually used after sensory verbs to indicate that the action has a result.
看得见: 得见 is the potential complement, meaning "can see something".
看不见、听不见: can not see or hear
The result complement 到 is used after the verb part, to indicate that the outcome of the action is achieved.
得不到: can't get. It is the negative form of potential complement.
The direction complement 来 is used after the verb part, to express that the direction of the verb part is towards the speaker.
The direction complement 去 is used after the verb part, to express that the direction of the verb part is away from the speaker.
Now, we have learned 14 Verb-Complement Type Separable Verbs. In Chinese grammar, Complement is a complicated subject. Here, we only have a preliminary understanding of its usages in separable words. We will continue to learn this type of verbs in future and you will get more and more familiar with them. Daily Zhongwen 每日中文 http://www.dailyzhongwen.com
