How to Study This Meaning Group
The English word "full" covers 4 different Chinese characters — 毕 (bì), 圆 (yuán), 弥 (mí), 盈 (yíng) — and each is its own word with its own feel. These 4 characters do not share a sound — their readings span bì, yuán, mí, yíng — so confirm the pinyin and tone for each one separately. The example sentences further down show how 毕 and the others are actually used, so you learn them in context rather than as a single translation.
