Turn reference into recall

How to study 接 in context

  1. Say jiē, then recall the core meaning: to connect, to join.
  2. Write all 11 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 接受 (jiē shòu), meaning “to accept”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 接 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.
