The 次 family

次 · cì · ㄘˋ — time (occurrence)

Know 次 and the readings of 4 more characters follow: 資、姿、茨、瓷. In traditional Chinese, most characters carry a sound component — a phonetic — and learning the phonetic once lights up its whole family. This page is that family, drawn live from the map.

The characters

One sound, many meanings: the 部首 beside each character is the other half of the pair, the part that tells them apart.

The percentage is our computed confidence that 次 really signals that character’s sound — scored from how closely the readings agree and how reliably 次 predicts the sound of every character built on it. Mean for this family: 74%.
