How to study 递 in context

  1. Say dì, then recall the core meaning: to deliver, to hand over.
  2. Write all 10 strokes while keeping the lower-left enclosure balanced.
  3. Use it in 快递 (kuài dì), meaning “express delivery”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 递 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.
