言 (yan2) is a basic word which means speaking. All actions related to speaking had a word-part of 言。 But it was simplified as 讠written in mainland China remained in Taiwan. For example 话语说辩(in middle of word)论证调试etw

Before telling story of word I will tell numbers of Chinese to you. All of them are simple: one 一(yi1) 、two 二(er4) 、three 三(san1) 、4四(si4) 、5 五wu3 、6六(liu4)、7七(qi2) 、8 (ba2) 、9九(jiu3) 、10十(shi2). They are basic numbers in Chinese and it is easy to add them more than 10.

The knife was probably the first weapon in history of human beings. So knife 刀🔪(dao3) was one of the basic words. Many words have the word-part of 刀 if they are used in the cold weapon time. All tools and actions have also word-part of 刀 in their structure

How many basic words in Chinese? 470 words. All of other Chinese words were made by basic words. You cannot read them out, but you can understand meanings of the new words. This is why the pronunciation of Cantonese is totally different from Mandarin, but each Cantonese understands Chinese well.

車 🚗 (che1) was and is a basic vehicle tool in communicating peoples. It was made by wood and the structure was like the word or the word was a copy of the structure. This word was simplified to 车. It is a basic word.

Do you know what is 孙 (sun1)? 孙 is son plus small, which means grandson ( son of son’s). Chinese called the grandson as 孙子; and called the granddaughter as 孙女. it’s very simple if you know the regulations of Chinese words.

The word 小(xiao3) which means “small” originated from the sand dust. The sand dust is definitely much smaller than human body. Right? Both words 大 and 小 could be word part in some words.
January 11, 2025 at 3:00 PM
The word 大 (da4) which means “big” originated from the human body. You can identify this word and its derivatives.
January 11, 2025 at 2:52 PM
If the Chinese word was composed by two or more different words, we call the new one as 字(zi4). 文 and 字 make a new phrase 文字 together, usually they had a similar meaning. For example 江河、文字、海洋 and so on. So all of 字 has different part of 文。there are about 470 basic words in the whole language

In the earlier time the war between the tribes were common. How to identify the enemy? There were no flag and no clothes. The people made some tattoo on their body. 文 (wen2) was the pattern on the body and became the word we used till today. If the word is independently from others we call it 文

Transfer this post to your friends who are learning Japanese or Korean language pls. Thank you for your support!

The basic Chinese words are also important for Japanese and Korean study. All Hanzi (漢字、汉字)of Japanese and Korean languages came from Chinese. The basic meaning of them was the same and similar in pronunciation.

But all of the human made river and small river were named as 河(he2) . All of the great river out of China were named as 河 as well. Only the great river in Korea was named as 江. This is also an exception with a long story.
January 9, 2025 at 6:46 AM
On the name of 江 and 河,I have an other opinion. Nearly all great rivers in southern China were named as 江, All other great rivers in northern China were named as 河 but an exception in province Helongjiang which located in the most northern of China.The 江 and 河 together makes a new word 江河

What is beauty? In ancient time there were goat( 羊🐑🐐yang2) and the goat was big, it was beautiful. This word is 美 ( beauty, mei3). Pay attention the big in the lower part.
January 8, 2025 at 7:25 PM
This is the difference between 江 and 河. But the big river can only be called as 江。For example 珠江( zhujiang) is the biggest river in Guangdong province; 湘江( xiangjiang) in Hunan province; 汉江( hanjiang) in Hubei province. 赣江ganjiang in Jiangxi province and so on. The first word is place of the river

江 means great river with clear water and stones like 长江( changjiang in English Yangtze, a long river). But yellow river in Chinese is 黄河 ( huanghe) because it contains lot of sands and it’s water was colorful.
January 8, 2025 at 6:38 PM
You have learned the basic word of water( 水shui3). All words containing water had this part for example 江(jiang1) 河(he2) 湖(hu2) 海(hai3)
洋(yang2) 池(chi2) 汤(tang1) 沅(yuan2) and so on.

Why should I tell the story of Chinese words and its origin? Because it’s easy to learn the phrase of Chinese. For example you learn the word good in Ch is 好(hao3) which means daughter plus son. It reflects the Chinese opinion on family and philosophy. Then you say hi to other is Nihao (你好)is simple

remained in Taiwan. We can understand the power came from diesel fuel or nuclear power but difficult to understand the power can be produced by the great dams! I like the ancient Chinese words that was created by great well-educated persons

Rainy was a natural phenomenon by which the Chinese call it as 雨(yu 3). But all of the things come from air containing water had a word part of 雨 at the top of word including 電⚡️ ( dian 4) which means electricity or power. Unfortunately the word 電 was simplified as 电,the water was deleted but
