    - (de): -ly

    This is an adverb marker in Mandarin, exactly like -ly in English. It can turn the majority of adjectives into adverbs. Examples:

    (kuide): quickly (mnde): slowly (goxngde): happily

    - (k): -able
    If something is -able in English, then its often - in Mandarin. Examples:

    (ki): adorable (kxio): laughable (kko): reliable

    - (chng): reNeed to redo something? Chances are its - plus a verb in Mandarin. Examples:

    (chngzu): redo (chngz): reorganise (chngf): reiterate, repeat

    - (de): -ly

    (chngzu): redo (chngz): reorganise (chngf): reiterate, repeat

    - (d): -st, -nd, -rd, -th


    For some reason, English has special markers to turn numbers one to three into ordinals, and then just uses -th for everything else. In Mandarin, theyre all marked by . Examples:

    (dy): the first (dr): the second (dji): the ninth

    - (men): -s
    This one is pretty straightforward. It functions exactly like the English plural suffix -s or -es. It also covers what would be irregular plurals in English. The only difference is that it can only be used with people and some animate nouns (such as animals). Examples:

    (yzimen): ducks (hizimen): children (tmen): they
