Turn reference into recall

How to study 尤 in context

  1. Say yóu, then recall the core meaning: especially, particularly.
  2. Write all 4 strokes while keeping the lower-left enclosure balanced.
  3. Use it in 尤其 (yóu qí), meaning “especially”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 尤 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.
