How to study 户 in context

  1. Say hù, then recall the core meaning: door.
  2. Write all 4 strokes while keeping the top-bottom balanced.
  3. Use it in 窗户 (chuāng hu), meaning “window”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 户 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.
