How to study 税 in context

  1. Say shuì, then recall the core meaning: taxes.
  2. Write all 12 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 免税 (miǎn shuì), meaning “not liable to taxation”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 税 works in that context.
