一個置於動詞後面的助詞,用來說明後面欲表達的事物之所以發生的原因. A marking particle put after a verb and used for connecting the reason of a thing/situation you want to express right afterward. 累(A) 得(B) 不想做飯(C) A:動詞 B:助詞 C:欲表達的事物 [another examples] 1. 生氣(A) 得(B) 吃不下飯(C) so angry as to can't eat anything 2. 哭(A) 得(B) 累了(C) cry and feel tired 3. 痛(A) 得(B) 睡不著覺(C) feel hurt so that can't fall asleep 在這要注意不要誤用為"的", 雖然"得"和"的"用法台灣人也都會亂用XD 但通常在動詞後的助詞是用"得" Be aware that it isn't interchangable with the word "的",even though most of Taiwanese mix this two words up,haha. Remember "得" is put after a verb instead of "的." Hope my explanation helps:)

i think,actually,u r puzzled by the usage of "得不“，just too...to,too tried to cook a supper, another example：差得不能在忍受了，too bad to bear with it

maybe a symbol 很 was skipped: 累得很

emotion word. for example,you can use the 我今天累哦，不想做饭

汉语中有3个"de" "的"is often used to link adj. and noun. "地"is often used to link adv. and verb.but it's predicate. "得"is often used to link adv. and verb,too.but it's complement. ex:在那遥远的地方,有位好姑娘 野兔飞快地奔跑,以躲避天敌的追杀. 我今晚累得不想做饭了， 咱们去饭馆好吗？ in oral or infomal chinese,you can use 的 anywhere hope it can help you
