How do you google for english pages on chinese, ie 去得 vs 去的

雅各   July 19th, 2011 3:46a.m.

I keep on wanting to google for english help on some chinese words, for example "去得 vs 去的" Now surely someone has blogged on this, or even just "得 vs 的"

Every time I try a search for this I get millions of 100% chinese pages.

What do you search for to find peoples blogs on these sorts of things?

Usually nciku.com is a good source. But the only thing I could find on there about your above question is:

"的:the part in front of "的" is attributive adjunct. the part in front of "地" “得” is adverbial adjunct"

you can ask Google to only return English pages

I had some luck searching for "得 use 的" restricted to English:

http://www.google.com/search?q=得+use+的&lr=lang_en

Thats a very handy trick! So as far as I can tell, you just add "&lr=lang_en" to the end of the URL (:

Or on the google search results page you can click on advanced search and under language change from "any language" to "English".
