How to Say ‘Your drink’ in Simplified Chinese

你的饮料

nǐ de yǐn liào

[nee duh yin liao]

💬 Usage Tip: Put 的 (de) after a person word and it means "belonging to": 你的饮料 "your drink", 我的饮料 "my drink". With close family or friends it's often dropped, as in 我妈妈 "my mom", but with objects like a drink you keep it.
