Meaning Index
Learn Chinese characters with the meaning "carry", including 提 (tí / dī), 何 (hé). Study pinyin, English meanings, traditional forms, common words…
The English word "carry" covers 2 different Chinese characters — 提 (tí / dī), 何 (hé) — and each is its own word with its own feel. These 2 characters do not share a sound — their readings span tí, dī, hé — so confirm the pinyin and tone for each one separately. The example sentences further down show how 提 and the others are actually used, so you learn them in context rather than as a single translation.
Anchor each of these 2 characters in a word you can picture — start with 提 (tí / dī) — so "carry" turns into concrete usage instead of a one-to-one translation.
Each character below is shown in a short example sentence with pinyin and an English translation — the quickest way to feel the difference between the 2 ways to say "carry".
他提着一个很重的箱子。Tā tí zhe yí ge hěn zhòng de xiāng zi.He is carrying a very heavy box.
Common words: 提出 (tí chū)、提高 (tí gāo)、提到 (tí dào)
你为何这么晚才来？Nǐ wèi hé zhè me wǎn cái lái?Why did you come so late?
Common words: 任何 (rèn hé)、如何 (rú hé)、何必 (hé bì)
