Common questions
What is a Chinese measure word?
A measure word is used between a number or demonstrative and a noun, such as 一个苹果, 一杯水, or 一张票.
Is 个 always correct?
个 is very common, but not always the most natural choice. Specific nouns often sound better with a more precise measure word.
How can I memorize measure words?
Practice them in useful phrases and scenarios instead of isolated lists. Repeated examples make the pairings easier to remember.
