How to study 仅 in context

  1. Say jǐn, then recall the core meaning: only, merely, solely, just.
  2. Write all 4 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 不仅 (bù jǐn), meaning “not just”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 仅 works in that context.
