How to study 值 in context

  1. Say zhí, then recall the core meaning: price, value, worth.
  2. Write all 10 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 值得 (zhí dé), meaning “worth the money”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 值 works in that context.

Definitions and traditional forms are compiled from Make Me a Hanzi, HSK curriculum data, and CC-CEDICT. Sourced example sentences link to Tatoeba; editorial examples are labeled separately. Review data sources and licenses.
