Object Pronouns

Direct object pronouns replace nouns that directly receive an action, and they typically come immediately after a verb or as a attached particle in Mandarin.

Indirect object pronouns indicate to whom or for whom an action is done; in Mandarin this is often marked by particles like gěi 给 and the pronoun follows.

When both indirect and direct objects appear, the indirect object (recipient) usually comes first, often introduced by gěi 给; the direct object follows.

Mandarin uses particles like ba 把 and gěi 给 to highlight object placement, and pronouns can sometimes attach to verbs as resultative particles or remain as separate words for clarity.

Object pronouns streamline sentences by replacing repeating nouns; learn the basic direct and indirect pronouns, pay attention to particles like gěi 给, and practice placing them naturally after verbs.
