How would you use a Chinese Mandarin dictionary?

278 viewsOther

Hello!

So let’s say I encounter a Hanzi (hope I got the name right) that I have not seen before, nor know the meaning of or how it’s pronounced or written in Pinyin (also not a 100% sure about these).

Assume I can not just use the internet. In English I would open the dictionary and look for the meaning of the world by alphabetical order.

How would I find it in a Mandarin dictionary? I assume I won’t have to look through the entire dictionary trying to find the matching symbol.

Thanks in advance!
