Abstract
With detailed examinations of the four characters that are known to be the most commonly used verb suffixes
(huà, dé/de, yú and yĭ) and their correlative implementations in Mandarin disyllabic verbs,
this article discusses the traits of the derivative structure that are formed with a content morpheme and a suffix. The
observations show that not all of the disyllabic words where these characters are the second morpheme are derivative verbs. On the
other hand, being the derivational components of the disyllabic verbs, these suffixes all have their individual qualities that
lead to their non-uniformed morphological representations.
