Turn reference into recall

How to study 册 in context

  1. Say cè, then recall the core meaning: book, volume, register, list.
  2. Write all 5 strokes while keeping the single-component balanced.
  3. Use it in 相册 (xiàng cè), meaning “photo album”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 册 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.
