Definition
在台湾华语中,“会”(huì)通常用作情态动词,表示能力、可能或将来发生的事件,常与句末的“的”连用强调肯定语气。
In Taiwanese Mandarin, 会 (huì) is commonly used as a modal verb to indicate ability, possibility, or future events, often used with the final particle 的 to emphasize certainty.
Usage
“会”用于表达能力(如:我会游泳)、可能性(如:明天会下雨)或将来动作(如:我会去)。在台湾华语中,常以“会……的”结构表示强调或预测,并在口语中用作简短肯定回答(如:会啊)。
会 is used to express ability (e.g., I can swim), possibility (e.g., it will rain tomorrow), or future actions (e.g., I will go). In Taiwanese Mandarin, it often appears in the '会...的' structure for emphasis or prediction, and is used as a short affirmative answer (e.g., will indeed).
