How to study 糊 in context

  1. Say hū / hú / hù, then recall the core meaning: muddled.
  2. Write all 15 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 模糊 (mó hu), meaning “vague”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 糊 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.
