In contemporary Chinese language, "ge 个" can be inserted into verb-object phrases or separable words to form a "V-N" structure, which is generally regarded as a structure with a relaxed and casual sense oflanguage. In this paper, the author finds that two-syllable verbs can be inserted into "ge 个" except verb-object phrases and separable words. Judging from the situation types of sentences, the sentence with two-syllable verbs inserted with "ge 个" can only be used in the context of irrealis, which form a non-eventive sentence. We believe that this type of sentence is a sentence pattern that is expressed from the speakers' point of view and has the subjectivity and interactive subjectivity of the speaker. At the same time, we have analyzed the pragmatic features of the sentences with two-syllable verb inserted with "ge 个" from the perspective of quantity; and we believe that these sentences have the characteristics of expressing subjective diminishing role. Finally, this paper points out that the irrealis semantic features and the pragmatic features of subjective diminishing role of the sentences with two-syllable verb inserted with "ge 个" are closely related to the subjective evaluation function of" ge 个".
