Today’s selection from Yin Binyong’s Xīnhuá Pīnxiě Cídiǎn (《新华拼写词典》 / 《新華拼寫詞典》) deals with how to write Mandarin’s various de‘s, mood particles, and interjections.

This reading is available in two versions:

• simplified Chinese characters: 汉语拼音 助词、叹词 (zhùcí, tàncí)
• traditional Chinese characters: 漢語拼音 助詞、嘆詞

I’ve already written about the principles in previous posts. For example, see

• de de de — d di de
• Mandarin interjections in Pinyin
• mood particles in Mandarin — and how to write them in Hanyu Pinyin
