不就得了- its use

[Guoke]

I see.

If that's the case, it can be misleading for a fresh learner of the language.

[roddy]

Not if they know the rules.

Some textbooks / dictionaries would use bú in that situation, but according to the Hanyu pinyin rules they shouldn't.

Where's the emphasis? On 不 or 得?

[randall_flagg]

Generally 不就得了can not add 吧.

不就得了吗 is strong rhetorical question with the meaning of order.

But 不就得了吧 is a uncertainly tone.

Mmh, now I am confused. Can I add 吧 to this phrase or not? I still think I heard it that way and baidu and google do get some hits。。。but perhaps this is me being 任性 again.

Oh, yeah,

Or possibly even when you were being 任性。

, didn't even see that. Thanks for pointing it out!

On 得

To 24 楼:

If you are sure that your idea or method is perfect, you say 不就得了吗 to who feels unsure.

But if you are not sure and need somebody agree with your idea, you say 不就得了吧 in a soft voice.
