Hey Vino, I know it is always good to know the parents in advance, but look at it that way: The parents are often out of date, ancient characters with confusing meanings. When you spend too much time learning them, you might not make progress in learning useful words! I look up unknown parents like this: http://www.yellowbridge.com/chinese/character-etymology.php?searchChinese=1&characterMode=s&switchMode=1&zi=å½
Good luck with your studies! Davjd
Posted by davjd 8/28/12 (8 months ago)I am sorry, I was writing about radicals... Still, it holds for some parent words, too. keep learning and it will become clearer! Maybe there is a way to adjust the order somehow.
Posted by davjd 8/29/12 (8 months ago)Hi Davjd, Thanks for link. Do you know Uncle Hanzi? http://www.chineseetymology.org/CharacterEtymology.aspx?characterInput=音 I use him for etymylogy. But now i think i'll be using yellowbridge a lot more - so many resources. can't wait to get stuck into the literature....
