If you're learning Mandarin, numbers + measure words are a big deal! Today’s phrase is:
👉 四节课
Pinyin: sì jié kè
Meaning: Four classes / lessons
🧱 Character Breakdown
-
四 (sì) — four
Just a basic number. Simple and super useful! -
节 (jié) — measure word for class periods, sections, or sometimes "festival"
It literally means "section" or "segment", and it's used to count things like lessons, class periods, or festival events. -
课 (kè) — class / lesson / subject
You’ll see this in words like 中文课 (Chinese class), 数学课 (math class), or 上课 (to attend class).
🗣️ Example Sentence
-
今天我有四节课。
Jīntiān wǒ yǒu sì jié kè.
➤ I have four classes today.
🧠 Quick Tip
In Chinese, we often use "measure words" between numbers and nouns. Think of 节 as a way to count "chunks" of lessons or time blocks in school.
✍️ Final Thoughts
Learning phrases like 四节课 helps you understand how Chinese builds meaning step by step. It’s not just vocabulary — it’s structure, logic, and a bit of culture, all in one!

✅ Exercises:
我叫李天美，你呢？
Wǒ jiào Lǐ Tiānměi, nǐ ne?
"My name is Tianmei Li, and you?"
🔍 Explanation of the structure:
| Word | Pinyin | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 我 | wǒ | I / me |
| 叫 | jiào | am called / to be named |
| 李天美 | Lǐ Tiānměi | Your name |
| 你呢？ | nǐ ne? | And you? (returning the question) |
⚠️ Common mistake:
You wrote: "我的叫李天美" — which literally means "My is called Tianmei Li".
That "的 (de)" makes it possessive, like “my” — but in this case, you’re not saying “my name is…” explicitly. The Chinese way is simply:
👉 我叫 [name] = “I am called [name]” or “My name is…”
