How it's used

It functions as a noun to describe the grammatical role of a word or phrase that receives the action of a verb.

Common phrases

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 補語, which refers to a complement that follows a verb to describe the result or state of an action. Remember that 賓語 is the target of the action, while 補語 adds extra information about how the action was performed.
