Question

What's the use of the word?
I wanted to know how to say; I eat rice in chinese,  and the translator translated the following
我吃的饭
Wǒ chī de fàn

What's the meaning of ''de'' and why it's use in the sentence?.

Answer

我吃的飯  the rice that I eat
我喝的水  the water that I drink
我嗅的花  the flower that I smell
我看的書 the book that I read
我聽的歌 the song that I listen to
我摸的紙 the paper that I touch
我想的事 the thing that I think of
我做的蛋糕 the cake that I make
我去的地方 the place that I go to
我搭的公車 the bus that I take

以上都是 名詞短語

以下 則是直述句

我聽歌  I listen to the song.
我摸紙 I touch the paper.

我正在嗅花  I am smelling the flower.
我正在看書  I am reading a book.
我正在聽歌  I am listening to the song.

Answer

translator doesn't determine the grammar

I eat rice = 我  吃  米饭。 = wǒ  chī  mǐ-fàn.

Answer

Do not use online translators for Chinese. The sentence it has given you is nonsense.

If you want to say you are eating rice (at this moment) you can say 我在吃米饭. If you just want to say you like eating rice, you can say 我喜欢吃米饭.
