Turn reference into recall

How to study 记 in context

  1. Say jì, then recall the core meaning: mark, sign.
  2. Write all 5 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 记得 (jì de), meaning “to remember”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 记 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.
