How to Write "State" in Chinese Radicals

Video Transcript

OK. Here is the character "chou" that goes with de-an, pe-air, de-an, soo, de-an, soo. In English, it means "state", like the state of Massachusetts. In Chinese, some people will have a shortened translation of it as "mah-do." And also, it has the meaning of "city". In China, there's a city Kankong, and it is guam, do. So, here's how you write it. Remember, the stroke order rule? From left to right, this character, although it looks kind of symmetrical but actually we start the whole character from left to right, stroke by stroke. De-an, pe-air, de-an, soo, de-an, soo. OK, one more time. De-an. And we see that since there are several strokes that goes from left to right, you need to have this left slant that's a little bit steep. So, at least the top part of it goes kind of parallel to the verticals that follows. Chou.
