Chinese Character: 爱 Love (Beginner)

Apr. 20, 2010

Chinese character (Beginner)

爱 (ài) Love

 
Chinese Character: 爱 (ài) Love
拼音 (pīnyīn) pinyin: ài
笔画 (bĭhuà) number of strokes: 10
含义 (hányì) meaning: love
笔顺 (bǐshùn) stroke order:
 

部首 (bùshŏu) Radical: 爫

词源 (cíyuán) Etymology: In traditional Chinese, people write this character as "愛 (ài)." Now it is simplified to "爱 (ài)." The parts of "爫" and"夂" both mean actions. "心 (xīn)" means heart. So the Chinese character "爱" or "愛" means to love people through your actions and with your heart.
