Chinese session 1

Chinese words and associations

The difference between ”kou3”(r30) & ”wei2”(r31) isn’t much visually except that one is bigger than the other. But they hold a very interesting meaning to the characters they  contain.

-        Kou3 = mouth. Found in characters like(chi1)(he1), which means to eat & to drink.  Which are both actions that involve the mouth. 

-       Wei2 = No meaning alone. Found in char like (guo2 = Country), (qiu2 = Prisoner), Which has to do with containment.
