October 16, 2009, 04:53 AMHi Xueli, can you tell me the sentence said by your friend? Because there are at least 3 situations where "的" is used at the end of a sentence.

Another important reason I have to learn Chinese is for my new daughter. She was born in April and she's Chinese/American/Filipino I really feel it's important for her to be in touch with her Chinese culture. I hope that I can someday talk to my daughter in Chinese equally as well as I can in English.

感动can means be moved or touched.Like你的话让我很感动。What you said makes me moved. 感动also can be used for things，like这个电影很感动。This movie is touching.

xueli
October 16, 2009, 03:48 AMHave a question.
When I using 收. I can 收 anything? Not just emails right? I can use the word 收 when I want to send a package in the mail or send a gift to someone. Can I use this word like that?
xueli
October 16, 2009, 03:56 AMI also wanted to know the differerent rules on how to properly use the word 的。 I am familiar with using it to show possession. However, I was talking with my friend and he used the word 的 at the end of the sentence, The sentence meant I will certainly get better. I wasn't sure why de was at the end of the sent., but I'd like to learn how to properly place 的 in my sentences too.

October 16, 2009, 04:29 AMHi Xueli,
收means to receive, so you can 收邮件(you2jian4;emails)，收礼物(li3wu4;gifts)，收邮包(you2bao1;a package in the mail); to send is 发(fa1), so you also can 发邮件，but we don't say 发礼物, because "to send" has several equivalent words in Chinese, you should say 送礼物.
