In the last video, I shared the 部首 related to creatures, but the most related to us is human. So today's video, let's take a look at human.
No doubt, the first one is human
人
has two types 人、亻.
Many words use 人 as 部首, but some words' meaning is not related to human, some are related to personality, and sometimes means a person's situation, so we have
- 他 he
- 你you
- 來come
女
means woman, we will see dozens of words that use 女 as 部首, but for now let's remember it means woman.
- 女兒 daughter
- 媽 mother, 娘 also means mother, When used alone, it means mother, but when used with other words, it has other meanings, but all related to woman.
- 奶奶 grandmother
子
means man or person had three types 子、孑、孓.
But its other two types have different pronunciations, called 孑孓 means mosquito larva, I don't know why, but let's just memorize it.
Let's go back to 子, we have
- 孩子child
- 兒子 son
- 孫子 grandson
Since we are talking about the word child, the next one must be parents.
父and母
父 We have three words that can refer to Father. According to the tone, we could translate them as
- 父親 Father
- 爹dad
- 爸 papa
and don't forget 爺爺 grandfather
母 has two types 毌、母, they are similar in appearance but completely different.
母means mother 母親
but this word 毋 means do not, We rarely use this word these days, so don't confuse the two and write it correctly.
