Could you help me to correct it? How to learn Chinese character?The answer is try to make friends with them and call their names.Well,they all look the same——all are pictures!What a mess! Have you ever attempted to classify them by formation of Chinese characters before bone up on them?Let's try the new method! There are six formations of Chinese characters.However, there are only four formations are common. 1、 Hieroglyphic For example,"山(mountain)"、 “人( human)” “刀(knife)”、“口(mouth)”in Chinese is some of the pictograph characters which has its origin in the shape of the mountain,the human,the knife and the mouth.. 2、 indicative character Such as“上(up)”、“下(down)”and“刃(the edge of a knife)”。 “__”means the horizon in the character of “上”and “下”.“ㅏ” is a sign to up or down. 刀is knife while the symbol“ ′ ”marks the point is not the knife itself but the edge of the knife. 3、 Associative Compound Characters It can be self-explanatory. The meaning-joint character of same symbols is composed of two or more than two same symbols.Such as “从(follow——a man walked after aonther man)”、“众numerous——three means a lot in Chinese culture”、“林”and“森”(“木”is wood while “森林”is forest).The others are composed of two or more than two different symbols. Such as“鸣(calls and songs of birds——“口”is mouth while “鸟”is bird.)”、“休( have a rest——a man sat down to rest under a tree.)”、“ 尘(dust,ash——“小”is small while “土”is soil.)”. 4、 Phonograms According to statistics, phonograms account for about 90% ofChinese characters. A large number of phonograms are made of original Character with sentimental symbol for differentiating original Character's sense and improving distinction ofCharacter's meaning.There are two or above symbols of it.One is point to the meaning while another baers on the pronunciation.Such as “沐(take a shower——“氵”refers to water while “木”is precisely the pronunciation.)” Now,let's check up the effect! Could you tell me what the meaning of “火”?It's the shape of fire. And what is “雨”?Did you hear the rain beating on the window?“雨”is rain. How about “双”?They just looks like twins!Yes!“双”is a measure word which means a pair. The last test is how to pronounce "们"?Um,“亻”refers to “人(man)”while "门"is connected with the pronunciation.And I would like to share you a secret that 我们is we.Could you tell me the word "they" how to say in Chinese?Text me!
