Talk:生得

I think this is sum of parts: 生 (to be born) + 得 (to the extent of). Similar constructions include: 他長得很漂亮 (He looks beautiful), 他跑得很快 (He runs very fast), etc. It is, however, a valid word in Japanese and Korean. Wyang (talk) 07:07, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Both 生得 and are included in the ABC dictionary. 長得 is transliterated "zhǎng de" but 生得 "shēngde". They are border cases, IMO, and from a foreign language speaker's point not so intuitive, unlike 跑得. I actually planned to add  a long time ago. They no longer have just the original meaning "to be born (as)" or "grow up (as)". I am going add a space in pinyin. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:19, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
 * I've made some improvements to make it less controversial and added an RFT topic. Please check. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 07:58, 22 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. To clarify, this seems to be an rfd-sense for "to have the natural characteristics of (a person)". — justin(r)leung { (t...) 20:17, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
