Attributives expressing possessions 表领属关系的定语
In Chinese, an attributive must be placed before the word it modifies. When a noun or a pronoun is used as an attributive to express possession, the structural particle “的”is usually required.
NP/Pr + 的 +N 我 的 名片。 哥哥 的 咖啡。 语言学院 的 老师。
When a personal pronoun functions as attributive and the modified word is a noun referring to a relative or the name of word unit, the “的” between the attributive and the word it modifies may be omitted. For example: “我妈妈”, “你爸爸”, “他们家”,“我们学院”.
