the use of 好
大家好!
请帮我 with this character,
most obvious meaning is that it is "good".
but in my phrase book and the dictionaries i'm using, i've encountered a new way to use it and i don't really get the explanation.
把被子叠好 - Bǎ bèizi dié hǎo - fold the quilt
把信叠好- Bǎ xìn dié hǎo - fold the letter
dictionary says "it is used after verbs to indicate finishing or finishing satisfactorily...and gives this examples
这件事他做不好 - Zhè jiàn shì tā zuò bùhǎo - he can't do the job well
我把他的病治好了 - Wǒ bǎ tā de bìng zhìhǎo le - i cured his illness
i still don't get it,
what is 好hǎo's purpose in these phrases?
“好” is used as adjective, verb and adv.
1. As a adjective, it means "good" or "easy";
2. As a verb, it means "finishing"(做好)、“ready”(好了吗?);
3. As a adv.,followed by adjectives,it means "how +a. it is" ,"好黑的头发"

Verbs like 做 and 治 on their own just mean an act. "好" is used to tell us the results of the act, meaning "successfully".
做 = do
治 = treat
做好 = do well
治好 = cure
