HanziThe writing system used in Chinese is unlike that used by most other languages in that words are not represented by letters which tell you the pronunciation. Hanzi (Chinese characters) are drawn, not spelt. Example: The word for ‘person’ (人) originally depicted a man with two legs.
In this case it is still possible to see the similarity between the hanzi and the image. Test your knowledge: Hanzi Exercise |
