Turn reference into recall

How to study 情 in context

  1. Say qíng, then recall the core meaning: emotion, feeling, sentiment.
  2. Write all 11 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 事情 (shì qing), meaning “affair”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 情 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.
