12 Must-Know Measure Words in Chinese

[@SkritterHQ]

Just a note that at 01:39, the simplified version of 張 should be 张, not 长 which means "long". 张 contains the "bow" component 弓 gong1 and 长 zhang3/chang2 which hints at the sound (zhang1).

What's a measure word?

[@jonathanmagerli1919]

First, thank you for the information. Second, I want to point out a few things. To begin with, as a Chinese university student, the use of 二 and 兩 is more complicated than the explanation you gave. So it could even be the subject of another video. What's more, it is really just a detail, the number "three" in China is shown with the middle, the ring and the little finger. Finally, I want to clarify that the semantic key of the traditional character of 只 is a "short-tailed bird" (PY: zhui1).
