Meaning comes from context
Editorial AI illustrationMeaning comes from context
One word.
More than one translation.
The familiar character 看 takes different English translations with different neighbours.
我喜欢看书。
I like reading books.
With 书, 看 translates as “read”. The phrase matters more than a single dictionary gloss.
我们去看电影。
We are going to watch a film.
With 电影, “film”, 看 means “watch”. The same verb takes a different translation.
他去看医生。
He is going to see a doctor.
看医生 usually means to consult a doctor, not to look at one.
How the Library Works
Materials are organized by topic, level and format: HSK, grammar, translation, terminology and methodology can be read as one system.
Next Step
Each material leads to related courses, books and publications, so a note does not remain an isolated text.
