What is the meaning of 着-- 著 Hi all. I'm studying a short chinese story called "A Vat of Water". The language is Mandarin Chinese and the characters are in Simplified Form. Then I found the following sentence: - 她指著“太”字说…… - tā zhĭ zhe "tài" zì shuõ: ... - She pointed out the character "tài" and said: ... Now the PDF file didn't allow me to read that 著 well, so I searched on "archchinese.com" , but finding any "ZHE" as 著. But in conclusion I found that: 1) 著 is the "Traditional form of 着." - 着 [ zhē, zhāo, zhuó, zháo ] to catch, to receive, to suffer, to make move, to take action, auxiliary word (always behind verb) 2) 著 is another word in Simplified form - 著 [ zhù, zhuó ] to make known, to show, to prove, to write, manifest, book, outstanding My question is: Did the author confuse with 着 or she really meant to use 著 ? Because I do not understand the grammar of that sentence above. 谢谢
