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口. Found
in characters like吃(chi1),喝(he1),
which means to eat & to drink. Which are both actions that involve
the mouth.
- Wei2
= No meaning alone囗. Found
in char like国 (guo2 =
Country), 囚 (qiu2 = Prisoner),
Which has to do with containment.
