How to study 决 in context

  1. Say jué, then recall the core meaning: to decide, to determine, to judge.
  2. Write all 6 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 解决 (jiě jué), meaning “to solve”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 决 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.
