How to study 站 in context

  1. Say zhàn, then recall the core meaning: stand, station.
  2. Write all 10 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 车站 (chē zhàn), meaning “rail station”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 站 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.
