How to study 歧 in context

  1. Say qí, then recall the core meaning: to diverge, to fork.
  2. Write all 8 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 分歧 (fēn qí), meaning “divergent”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 歧 works in that context.
