How to Study This Meaning Group
The English word "peak" covers 2 different Chinese characters — 顶 (dǐng), 峰 (fēng) — and each is its own word with its own feel. These 2 characters do not share a sound — their readings span dǐng, fēng — so confirm the pinyin and tone for each one separately. The example sentences further down show how 顶 and the others are actually used, so you learn them in context rather than as a single translation.
