晾干 is a verb-result compound:

• 晾 = to hang out / leave something to air-dry
• 干 = dry

So 晾干 means to become dry by being hung out or left to dry in the air.

In this sentence, it describes the result: the clothes are now dry after being hung out to dry.

A useful comparison:

• 晾衣服 = to hang clothes out to dry
• 衣服晾干了 = the clothes have dried from being hung out

They are related, but they do different jobs.

• 已经 is an adverb meaning already
• 了 here marks a new situation / change of state

So in 衣服已经晾干了, the idea is:

• the drying is already completed
• and now the situation has changed: the clothes are dry now

Using both together is very common in Mandarin.

A rough feel of the sentence is:

• 衣服晾干了 = The clothes are dry now / have dried.
• 衣服已经晾干了 = The clothes are already dry.

So 已经 adds emphasis to the completion being earlier than expected or relevant now.

This is best understood as sentence-final 了, which often marks a new state or change of situation.

In 衣服已经晾干了, the important point is not just that an action happened, but that the current state is now different:

• before: the clothes were still wet or drying
• now: the clothes are dry

That is why 了 sounds natural here.

This is slightly different from a strictly action-focused 了 attached right after a verb to mark completion in a more event-like way.

In Mandarin, adverbs like 已经 usually come before the verb or predicate.

So the pattern is:

• subject + adverb + verb/predicate

Here:

• 衣服 = subject
• 已经 = adverb
• 晾干 = predicate
• 了 = sentence-final particle

So:

• 衣服已经晾干了

This word order is very standard.

It can be either, depending on context.

衣服 can mean:

• clothes in general
• a piece of clothing
• the clothes as a group

Mandarin often does not mark singular/plural the way English does. Context tells you what is meant.

So this sentence could refer to:

• one item of clothing
• several items
• the laundry in general

In many situations, English would naturally translate it as The clothes have already dried.

Because Mandarin often allows a bare noun when the referent is clear from context.

So 衣服已经晾干了 is perfectly natural if both speakers already know which clothes are being discussed.

You might also hear:

• 这些衣服已经晾干了 = These clothes have already dried.
• 那件衣服已经晾干了 = That item of clothing has already dried.

Adding 这些, 那件, etc. makes it more specific, but it is not required.

In normal speech, the second syllable of 衣服 is usually in a neutral tone:

• yīfu

This is very common for many everyday two-syllable words in Mandarin. The first syllable keeps its full tone, and the second becomes lighter and shorter.

So although learners may expect fú, native pronunciation is usually:

• 衣服 yīfu

This is something worth memorizing as a whole word.

Yes. 衣服已经干了 is very natural.

The difference is:

• 衣服已经干了 = The clothes are already dry.
• 衣服已经晾干了 = The clothes have already air-dried / dried from being hung out.

So 晾干 gives more information about how they became dry. It implies drying by hanging or airing, not just dryness in general.

If the drying method does not matter, 干了 is often enough.

This is a very useful distinction.

• 晾干 = to air-dry, usually by hanging something up or leaving it to dry naturally
• 晒干 = to dry in the sun

So:

• 衣服晾干了 = The clothes have air-dried.
• 衣服晒干了 = The clothes have dried in the sun.

If you want to emphasize sunlight, use 晒干.
If you just mean they were hung out and dried, 晾干 is a good choice.

Yes. A natural negative version is:

• 衣服还没晾干。
• 衣服还没有晾干。

These mean:

• The clothes haven’t dried yet.

Notice that with 没 / 没有, you normally do not use 了 at the end in this kind of sentence.

A very common pattern is:

• 还没…… = not yet...

So:

• 衣服还没晾干。 = The clothes are not dry yet.

Yes, if the context is clear.

In conversation, Mandarin often drops things that are already understood. So if everyone knows you are talking about the laundry, someone might simply say:

• 已经晾干了。

That means:

• It’s already dry.
• They’ve already dried.

Mandarin is very context-dependent, so dropping the subject is extremely common in everyday speech.
