How to study 态 in context

  1. Say tài, then recall the core meaning: manner, bearing, attitude.
  2. Write all 8 strokes while keeping the top-bottom balanced.
  3. Use it in 态度 (tài dù), meaning “manner”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 态 works in that context.
