How to study 致 in context

  1. Say zhì, then recall the core meaning: to send.
  2. Write all 10 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 导致 (dǎo zhì), meaning “to lead to”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 致 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.
