Long explanation:

The Mandarin Chinese word '掉 (diào)' is a verb suffix used to indicate the action of something falling off or being dropped. When attached after a verb, it illustrates the resultant change caused by the verb's action. This grammar point illustrates a transformation or a conclusion. The connection to physical falling or dropping is a conceptual one, considering that the resultant change often involves a removal or a loss.
