    It has several meanings, and 3 kinds of pronunciation.
    For example, when we put "得" after a verb or an adjective, it means "able to"(拿得起,放得下。) or express "the degree"(跑得快).
    For the other, it may means "have to", "must"(你得注意了!!)
    Besides, it may means "get, acquire, obtain"(得到), or "satisfied"(得意), or "admit"(不得進入)...

    1.用在动词后表可能:要不~。拿~起来。

    2.用在动词或形容词后的连接补语,表示效果或程度:跑~快。香~很。

    kinda depends on when and how you use it.

    As an interjection, it means: damn it, god, jezz, oh shoes, oh pants, oh, doh. 得, 都掉了。

    As a modal verb, it means should, shall and so on. 你得注意了 as mentioned above.

    After a verb/adj, it simply turns the word after it into a adv. like the suffix "-ly" in english, only that it is used as a "prefix" instead of a suffix.

    As a verb, it is almost equal to the word "get" in english, 你得奖了吗?did u get the price?

    either it's a part of some meaningful word
    like in 显得
    or
    shows the quality of the verb
    being placed between the verb and the adjective/adverb
