In these 2 sentences does 得 have the same function?

Question

Is this 得 doing the same job in both sentences? Maybe in 2. they should have used 地？ （I don't really think so, but maybe.)

1. 把自己梳理得漂亮而迷人。
2. 会不会忧郁得生病？

In 1. I have 得[漂亮]而[迷人] [形容词] In 2. I have 得(生病) (动词）

忧郁： sullen, depressed

Answer 1

Is this 得 doing the same job in both sentences?

Yes. Both 得 are 'verb particle'

In both sentences, 得 are following a verb. It is a [verb particle] of the verb before it.

'漂亮而迷人' is the 'result/ degree' of the action '把自己梳理'

[把自己梳理] is the [verb phrase]; [得] is a [verb particle] (*used to express possibility or capability; to indicate the result or degree. Similar to English 'to' / 'to the point of' *)

[漂亮而迷人] here is an [adjective phrase]. It is the[result/degree] of the verb phrase [把自己梳理].

'生病' is the result/ degree of '忧郁'

[忧郁] is the main verb; [得] is a [verb particle] (*used to express possibility or capability; to indicate the result or degree. Similar to English 'to' / 'to the point of' *)

[生病] is the auxiliary verb. It is the [result/degree] caused by the main verb [忧郁].

Answer 2

(clause A)得(clause B) is a general grammar in Chinese.

There must be clause A before 得 and clause B after it.

Clause B is the extent or degree used to describe clause A. It can be verbs or adjectives, doesn't matter at all.

Example: 忧郁得生病。 => Depressed to the extent of being sick.

Example: 做得好。 => Doing to the extent of being good. => Well done.

It can be understood, too, that 得 is used to convert a clause to adverb form.

Clause A: 裝饰 <==> decorate (verb)
Clause B: 很漂亮 <==> Very beautiful (adjective)

Whole sentence: 裝饰得很漂亮。=> Very beautifully (adverb) decorated.

地 is put after a single word, probably adjective to be an adverb. It is a different grammar.

Ex: 忙碌地 => busily

Answer 3

Simple pattern:

adj + 的 + noun
adv + 地 + verb
verb + 得 + adv

1. 把自己梳理得漂亮而迷人。

梳理(verb) 漂亮(acting like a adverb)

2. 会不会忧郁得生病？

忧郁(acting like verb), 生病(acting like adverb)
