Congratulations!
New Word(s) of Two-Characters or More Unlocked!
The word(s) below have a corresponding flashcard in the Hanzi & Words deck associated with this level. Before you end today's study session, add an image to the card (how to add images to flashcards). After that, unsuspend the card(s).
了解
Usage 1 - "to understand, to comprehend (often related to very complex topics like someone’s personality)"
Living Link Suggestion(s):
- When you untie something and conclude what it's all about, you COMPREHEND/UNDERSTAND it.
- Since this word means UNDERSTAND on a deeper level, think of moments in movies or in your life where someone truly UNDERSTOOD another person. For example, the scene from Avatar where they say "I see you": https://youtu.be/-u5SiCCmVv0?t=85
解决
Usage 1 - "to solve"
Living Link Suggestion(s):
- After you untie the complexities of a problem, you can more easily decide how to SOLVE it.
- Alexander the Great was faced with the problem of how to untie the Gordian knot (a tangle of knots that seemed to be impossible to unravel). He decided to SOLVE the problem by cutting the knot.
- Images of Algebra equations where you need to SOLVE for X.
- "Solution clipart"

A sports referee for 'settle, resolve'. I think this fits the meaning better? My image is a referee in striped shirt with his arms apart and whistle in his mouth.
