Talk:得很

RFD discussion: January–July 2019
Nominated by : "I consider this obvious SoP; this is a complement phrase (补语短语); 得多 and 得好 are similar constructions; 得很 does not appear as a word in the Chinese dictionaries 现代汉语词典7, 现代汉语规范词典3, 教育部國語辭典簡編本, or 教育部重編國語辭典修訂本; such a commonly used construction could not have been accidentally skipped- it was skipped because it is not a word" —Suzukaze-c◇◇ 06:42, 24 January 2019 (UTC)


 * [ from Requests for deletion/English]
 * Please note 得很 dehen is in the Taiwan TOCFL vocab. list. For those studying for and taking TOCFL tests its useful to keep dehen. It appears in 進階級, line 234.


 * I see it in the list there. I guess it could be a word? --Geographyinitiative (talk) 11:48, 24 January 2019 (UTC)


 * It's not necessarily a "word", but a phrase that merits inclusion IMO. 很 is an adverb, which makes it an unusual complement for 得. — justin(r)leung { (t...) 06:59, 3 March 2019 (UTC)


 * Note: While this sequence of characters does occur sometimes in text, the 很 does not necessarily modify 得. For example, take the sentence "他喜欢吃西瓜，吃得很多. " (He likes to eat watermelon, [he] eats very much.) In this excerpt, 很 unarguably modifies 多, not 得. In Chinese, 得 (de, neutral tone) doesn't mean anything on its own. It simply exists as a particle to separate verbs and adverbs. 很 is an adverb that describes adjectives and other adverbs, but not particles like 得. Personally, I haven't seen it in text myself, but I'll believe 185.41.231.203 that it occurs on the Taiwanese TOCFL vocab list. Can someone please confirm this?

 * We are not talking about this kind of incorrect parsing; the entry has examples to show how it's used. As Geographyinitiative has said, it is in the TOCFL vocab list (specifically 進階級). — justin(r)leung { (t...) 08:42, 7 May 2019 (UTC)
