One of the features is the Chinese measure words, which are used to measure words to count nouns.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see, the typical structure is \u201c<strong>number + measure word + noun<\/strong>\u201d. Since there are no changes in the noun, no matter it\u2019s singular or plural, the Chinese use the number to specify the quantity. And the use of the measure words is often based on the noun\u2019s shape, characteristic, container, or common use.<\/p>\n<p>Many Chinese learners, especially the beginners, often use \u201c\u4e2a\u201d as their preference. It is indeed a general measure word, but not for everything.[\/vc_column_text]<h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-h2 vc_custom_1715763882275\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">115 Frequently Used Chinese Measure Words<\/span><\/h2>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Since I am a big fan of learning by recognizing patterns, I compiled 115 frequently used measure words, grouped into sixteen logical categories.

the Chinese language is the importance and variety of measure words.\u00a0\u00a0It is true that measure words can be found in English as well: for example, when we say a\u00a0<em>strand<\/em>\u00a0of hair or a\u00a0<em>head<\/em>\u00a0of cattle, these are considered measure words. But for the most part, they are needed only to specify a collection of things, such as a\u00a0<em>flock<\/em>\u00a0of sheep, or an uncountable quantity, such as a\u00a0<em>gust<\/em>\u00a0of wind.\u00a0 But in Chinese, even single, countable objects require measure words, so that you cannot simply say &#8220;a flower&#8221;, &#8220;two people&#8221; or &#8220;five houses&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The reason why measure words are so important in Chinese (and other Southeast Asian languages like Thai or Vietnamese) is because names of simple objects are typically words with one or two syllables, and so there are many homophone word pairs which are pronounced the same but having different meanings.\u00a0The measure word serves as a kind of context that helps us to identify the meaning of the word that follows. Without measure words, the chance of misunderstanding what someone is saying becomes higher.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese measure words can categorize the noun that follows it according to its function, shape, or some other property related to that noun.\u00a0 In some cases, more than one measure word may be used for the same noun, and our choice depends on which characteristic we wish to emphasize.\u00a0 With this in mind, &#8220;measure word&#8221; may not be the best label;\u00a0we could also call them &#8220;specifiers&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s difficult to count exactly how many there are &#8212; partly because most measure words also serve as other parts of speech.\u00a0 Chinese often uses simple object or action names to count other objects with similar properties.\u00a0 This construct can be observed in English as well, as with phrases like a\u00a0<em>slice<\/em>\u00a0of bread or a\u00a0<em>handful\u00a0<\/em>of salt. The Measure Word Dictionary, published by China Daily in Taiwan, contains over 420 measure words, and mentions that there are over 500 currently in use.
