Questions & Answers about zhège gēdān lǐ yǒu hěnduō gē.

Why is there 个 in 这个歌单?

Because 这 / 那 normally need a measure word before a noun in Chinese.

So:

• 这 + 个 + 歌单 = this playlist
• 那 + 个 + 歌单 = that playlist

Here, 个 is the measure word being used with 歌单. It is the most common general-purpose measure word, and learners will see it very often.

What does 里 mean here?

里 is a location word / localizer meaning inside or in.

So:

• 歌单里 = in the playlist
• literally, inside the playlist

In this sentence, 这个歌单里 sets the location or context for what follows.

---

Why is there no 的 between 歌单 and 里?

Because 里 is not a normal descriptive modifier. It is a localizer that attaches directly to a noun.

So Chinese naturally says:

• 歌单里 = in the playlist
• 房间里 = in the room
• 书包里 = in the bag

Using 的 here would be wrong in this basic structure.
