How to study 队 in context

  1. Say duì, then recall the core meaning: team, group, band, army unit.
  2. Write all 4 strokes while keeping the left-right balanced.
  3. Use it in 队员 (duì yuán), meaning “team member”.
  4. Read the complete sentence aloud once, then cover the translation and explain how 队 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.
