跟我学汉字:口(kǒu)

2018-05-23

字形:

 

甲骨文的像人的嘴巴,是象形字。本义即为人的嘴。 现代汉语中“mouth”的意思用字表示,但在古代汉语中这个意思是用字表示的,而指的是动物或鸟类的嘴。现代汉语中已经不能作为“mouth”的意思单用了,它只能作为语素出现在两个音节以上的词里面,因为这些词是在可以作为“mouth”的意思单用的时候固定下来的,如口腔口齿不清等。后来扩大字义,指容器、建筑物等通向外面的地方或出入通过的地方

The character “” was like human’s mouth in the oracle bone inscription. Its original meaning was man’s mouth. The meaning of "mouth" in modern Chinese is indicated by the character "", but in ancient Chinese, it was indicated by the character "". In modern Chinese, the basic meaning of "" is still "mouth". However, it is no longer used alone, but only as a morpheme in the words such as "口腔" (oral cavity) and "口齿不清" (inarticulacy), etc. Later, it was extended to refer to opening of containers or entrance.
