the Reading(Spelling) of Modern Radicals (ABC)
Posted: Wed Jun 12, 2002 8:37 pm
Hi.
You know, I've got a problem again.
Imagine, you want to spell the English ABC, so you start:
A, B, C, D,.. X, Y, Z.
Now imagine, you want to read (spell) Chinese Traditional
Radicals, so you start:
yi1, shu4, zhu3,.. long2, gui1, yue4.
OK, let's carry on. It's gonna be more interesting now.
So, if you want to read (spell) Chinese Modern Radicals, then
you will get some problems there. How to read the radical without
pronunciation? I guess, Chinese people, anyway call it, somehow,
to point this radical up.
As for me, there are 14 radicals in the Modern Radicals' Chart
with no pronunciation:
No. 5 - back-turned stroke
No. 6 - top of 'diao1'
No. 14 - top of 'zuo3'
No. 20 - top of 'mei3'
No. 22 - top of 'dun4'
No. 25 - bottom of 'yi4'
No. 31 - top of 'yu2'
No. 89 - top of 'qing1'
No. 92 - top of 'lao3'
No.124 - top of 'yu4'
No.130 - top of 'chun1'
No.134 - top of 'lao2'
No.139 - top of 'chang2'
No.165 - top of 'zai1'
How Chinese people call these radicals?
Please write characters to each one and pinyin pronunciation.
Generally, explain a situation to me, please.
Thanks for attention.
