dé/de/děi 得 obtain | get | gain | result in | take | catch | be finished; fit | proper | satisfied; have to | must | ought to | need; (a particle used after a verb to show effect, degree or possibility)
- 得 has multiple parts of speech, such as particle, verb or auxiliary verb.
- The structure "Verb + 不得" can form different words such as 巴不得、恨不得、怪不得 and 舍不得. In these words, 不得 means "cannot, may not, not be allowed". 巴不得 and 恨不得 can express unreal states or actions that have not yet happened, like the subjunctive mood in English.
- 得 can be used alone in a sentence. It also can be used as a root to form other compound words, such as 得意, 得罪.
- In some words, 得 is used as a word-forming component, but has no actual meaning, such as 觉得、记得. In this case, 得 is pronounced in neutral tone.
