How to study 批 in context

  1. Say pī, then recall the core meaning: comment, criticism.
  2. Write all 7 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 批评 (pī píng), meaning “to criticize”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 批 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.
