Basic Chinese Character Parts - Movement Radicals

I have written a book "Chinese ABC" for beginner students! If you are just starting out definitely check it out! www.amazon.com...
Animated cartoon to help you memorize, once and for life, a few basic character parts, which many people confuse!
Remembering Chinese Characters is quick and easy if you know the parts of the character. Whether you are a beginner, an intermediate or an advanced student, you'll find many radicals are similar to each other. How to differentiate between them? You can watch my cartoon series that aims to do just that. For other characters check out the following free resources www.wordbuddy.com/ www.yellowbridg... where you can see character parts along with translations. Whatever you do, don't read on as it will be for youtube algorythms so my vid shows up in search. I therefore mention Cantonese and Japanese, and Beijing and Guangdong and even Shanxi and Chinese calligraphy for beginners, aka free lessons classes and learning Asian culture. Is there an alphabet in Mandain? China, simplified. How do you write Chinese characters, what is the meaning of 214 Kangxi radicals and Kanji in China, all while history of writing. And learning Chinese by yourself, super easy lesson Chinese for starters, while also advanced Mandarin strokes order, not to mention Mandarin Characters, pinyin or zhuyin. Enjoy your day, I love you all.

I'm Chinese and I'm laughing so hard about this. Great work, you made it so intuitive. However, I‘ve never seen 夂(zhi3) and 攵(pu1) used independently; I didn't even know they have pronunciation and meaning. BTW, here is the pronunciation of all the radicals and characters: 夂，zhi3 攵，pu1 夕，xi1 歹，dai3 行，xing2 多，duo1 客，ke4 政，zheng4 死，si3 街，jie1

the radicals walk and hit are rarely used in writing and speaking. They are only radicals to build other more meaningful characters. We use 走 (zou3) for walk. and 打 (da3) to hit

[@ningningprecious943]

But the demonstrations made sense to make it easy to do the stroke and to remember it We don't even understand your way (shou 3) or ( da 3)

[@TheEarthRealm]

Zhou Charly Define 'Chinese'/'we'? Are you from mainland China? If so, what specific area/region/prefecture? I lived in Taiwan for years, and these are used as characters *and* radicals there. I worked in Beijing China briefly, but am not sure if anything was different.

[@zhoucharly9762]

Hi Devin, good question. For more than 60 years‘s isolation between mainland China and TW, there shall be some difference, Traditional and simplified Chinese also different, both in write and speak, I am not specialist, so may have some mistakes , but glad to talk about Chinese languages each other.

[@mmmmmmok5292]

Umm hello?

[@dianlu2374]

Devin J. Bowden Emmmm I guess the whole mainland China doesn't use 'hit' and 'walk' as a character...As I can't even recognize them as a independent character(thay are taught in school but not as characters) and I've been to most of main cities in mainland China...

[@Hamoshekabeka]

Zhou Charly the lesson is about radicals and this is the name of this channel too.

[@521vida]

these aren't characters they are only radicals

[@angel40531]

In nowdays,"走"means "walk" , "行"also means "walk" ,so you can use both together as "行走",and "跑" means "run" . In ancient China, "走" means "run" , "行"means "walk" and "趨"means "walk fast". 趨 can use in nowdays too , but rarely.

[@6Uncles]

走 still means run, and 行" still means walk in certain Chinese languages. Just not in modern standard mandarin

[@willdenman999]

Wow this is excellent! Just after watching it ONCE, now I can write and recognise several new words! Please keep making more of these videos! Great work :)

As a Chinese i suddenly understand why Chinese is so difficult. I didn’t remember I used such complicated method to remember characters when i was in school.😂

[@lorenrenee1]

Firzen Ama there is always an advantage when we learn our mother tongue for an older language learner this is very helpful.

[@roghiyeh135]

tell me, please, which methods did you use?

[@jungetschai5671]

@@roghiyeh135 First, learn the four tones. Secondly, learn Chinese characters and words one by one. Finally learn ancient Chinese. Normally, it takes 3 years to be able to communicate simply and 6 years to be able to write simply. If you want to be proficient, you need at least 9 years of hard work. As a Chinese, I have studied for 9 years, but I haven't learned well. Chinese culture is very open and the Chinese people are very kind, but Chinese language and Chinese characters are as difficult to understand as fossils, and as difficult to climb as high walls.

[@roghiyeh135]

@@jungetschai5671 Thank you. Wow, only 6 years! Chinese people are very clever...

[@ashura_7777]

Thanks for the video. Eventhough i'm learning Japanese, the character of Kanji has the same meaning with Chinese - this is helpful to memorize those symbols. I love it.

[@HazyAbigail]

omg ! this is so awesome! now how do we pronounce it?

[@aleksandranaseva8799]

#Hazy I have spent months researching into teaching yourself to understand Chinese online and discovered a fantastic website at Magic Mandarin Blueprint (google it if you're interested)

[@Democraps_are_narrow-minded]

No hanyu pin yin. Cant pronounce

[@thiago10melo]

aleksandra naseva thank you ^^

[@jiehyichang5267]

Walk and Hit are important character forming constituents but seldom almost never used in real life as independent character by themselves. I need to look up dictionary to get these pronunciations right. Sunset pronounces as /xi(4)/ A lot pronounces as /duo(1)/ Footprint (or rather, walk, go... ) pronounces as /xing(2)/ Death pronounces as /si(3)/ Politics pronounces as /zheng(4)/ Street pronounces as /jie(1)/

[@jiehyichang5267]

Radical a bit but I appreciate the efforts. Nice work indeed!

[@cyruschan6036]

Since there was high illiteracy rate at the early stage of China , Chinese words were simplified to help the illiterates. The simplified character don't have the related meaning of the words. The original meaning of 会 is not a person can ride a cloud. The traditional character is 會. But I think you can still use this method to memorise a Chinese words.

[@xXJ4FARGAMERXx]

I saw 云 and i laughed, the traditional character is 雲, 雨 means rain, and 云 is just the phonetic part that tells you "hey, this is pronounced almost like yun" (it doesn't tell you which tone it is though) But seeing just a yun floating around acting as if it were a cloud was odd

[@kki7042]

If u only need to communicate with people, then Chinese grammar for communication is actually super easy compared to the other languages. People can understand u even if u put the words in wrong orders and we usually speak like that in our daily life too. Grammar is not important when we speak it. But for the level of being professional in Chinese, the grammar becomes difficult cuz the mistakes of it are too difficult to find out…most of the native speakers can't even figure out… so don't give up learning because of the characters😄

[@hideyoshi1568]

My friend just told me about this, thank you for ur explanation

[@nephtalideleon7980]

Nephtali De Leon More likely people would focus on the pinyin and not on the actual characters then.

[@ryoyan1128]

Actually， “步” is two foot correctly (which means the action of walking) "行” in ancient Chinese word more likes to be" a crossed street" “夊” is a people who walks with crutch which means slow walking "攵”is a hand with a branch which means "lead" nor "hit" if It's "hit" than how to explain “教” “放” “牧” “夕” is a half of sun covered by horizon (and take a 90° turn) which means sunset “云” is gas, so when it adds "雨” rain above It means "gas in weather solution" equals could

I just wanted to tell you that I really liked your comment. I started learning Chinese about 3 years ago, I'm from the US, with Austrian heritage. Although Chinese is a beautiful language, so is yours. My Grandmother spoke it fluently, I wish I could learn it! Best of luck with your Chinese, don't give up! 😊❤

[@evelynpiapatriciaschimplau7821]

Thank you very much for your wonderful words! And thank you for a bit background of yourself. Oh I can't believe it! Wow! You ate from Us and heritage Austrian and your grandmother spoke Chinese fluently?wow so many languageses are now in your life!! I feel it's more than just to learn another language. For me it's like feeling and going into another world. I love to feel the culture. So I love Chinese music modern and traditiona I love Chinese film s there are so talented! When they play a role in a romantic film than in their eyes are really love. If they are afraid of Damon in a film in there eyes are fear! I prefer to watch it in Chinese all taught I don't understand many words. But I understand it anyway because I feel it and see it. I also live that Chinese people often have the knowing to bring old and new things together. For example in the music. They mix Zen Musik with new age Musik. Or classic with rock music but at most I love their romantic songs 😍and I love their ideas. I love to watch them making their work we can learn a lot about them! When you watching in the country the people making their work its specialy. They take the time. Step by step all thoughts, all, Energie, all acting is just for the now! For this work. To make it in the best perfekt way what is possible. It doesn't matter what kind of job its important to them. I saw in a documentary a fishing man he made me cry because it touched me very deeply. He was in the now. For him it was a fish not just a fish. And fishing not just fishing he want to make it in the perfect way! Oh I wrode to much!😂😂 you can see I love to talk about it! I could tell you many stories I learned from them. I know there a things in China I don't like same of their politics. But every country have their problems and the people are not the politicians.
