Common Collocations

These collocations are very frequent in daily conversation and writing.

Usage Notes

"" is always used as the subject or possessive determiner. When combined with "" (de), it forms possessive phrases like "" (my book). It is important not to confuse "" with polite or formal first-person pronouns like "本人" or "吾" which are less common in everyday speech.
