Turn reference into recall

How to study 块 in context

  1. Say kuài, then recall the core meaning: piece, lump, chunk.
  2. Write all 7 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 一块儿 (yí kuài ér), meaning “erhua variant of 一塊|一块[yi1 kuai4]”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 块 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.
