The Chinese symbol for "I" or "me" is 我 (wǒ). While the English language has separate terms that differentiate between "me" and "I", Chinese is simpler. One character, 我, represents both "me" and "I" in the Chinese language. For example, 我饿了 (wǒ è le) means "I am hungry." On the other hand, 给我 (gěi wǒ) translates to "give me." ![]() Radical The Chinese character 我 (wǒ) is composed of 手 (shǒu), which means hand, and 戈 (gē), which is a dagger-like tool. In this case, 手 is used here in the form of 扌, the hand radical. Thus, 我 appears as a hand holding a little spear. Pronunciation 我 (wǒ) is pronounced using the third tone. This tone has a falling-rising quality. Character Evolution An early form of 我 showed two spears crossing. This symbol evolved into its present form over time. Depicting a hand holding a spear, the Chinese character for "I" is a symbol of ego assertion and therefore an appropriate representation of “I" or "me.” Mandarin Vocabulary with 我 Here are five examples of common Chinese phrases that incorporate the character 我: 我们 (wǒ men) - We; us; ourselves 我自己 (wǒ zì jǐ) - Myself 我的 (wǒ de) - Mine 我明白 (wǒ míngbái) - I understand 我也是 (wǒ yěshì) - Me too # Our teachers # More than 10 years teaching experience Master Degree Certificate for teaching chinese as a foreign language ![]() ![]() # About us # Founded in 2007 Chinese test and training center 200+ Chinese teachers 5000+ students ![]() # Contact us# Name:fiona Phone number:021-52287809,13918358891 E-mail:info@mandarinmorning.com www.mandarinmorning.com If you are interested to join Mandarin Morning school or want more details about our services, scan the following QR code. ☟ ![]() ![]() Mandarin Morning Chinese test center attached to Confucius institute headquarters Authorized Test Center and Training Center for International Chinese Language Teacher Certificater 10 years+ ,200 teachers ,more 10000 students,200+companies ![]() |
