when you learn chinese character, please do not only pay attention to its original meaning and extended meanings. In context, many Chinese characters meaning will have a change. for example, Chinese character 牛, means oxen. express the meaning of an animal. but in sentenses like "牛市", "这个人很牛" . can you understand the meaning of this character correctly? 牛市 describe the stock market is very strong, the index arise daily. has no relationship with animal. "这个人很牛" indicate the ability of one person is very excellence. In Chinese language context there is more change about the original meaning of some character than Western languages. therefore when you learn Chinese characters, you must avoid understanding a character lonely. put this character in phrases, in sentenses, and remember the entire meaning of the phrases and the sentenses. This will make you a big progress!
