How to study 莉 in context

  1. Say lì, then recall the core meaning: jasmine.
  2. Write all 10 strokes while keeping the top-bottom balanced.
  3. Use it in 茉莉 (mò lì), meaning “jasmine”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 莉 works in that context.
