Chinese dictionary

A Chinese dictionary is like a big book that helps people who speak Chinese or want to learn Chinese find the meaning of words. It's like a map of words that tells you what each word means in English or Chinese.

Imagine you go to a store and you're looking for a toy. You don't know what it's called but you know what it looks like. A dictionary is like a guide that helps you find the toy you want by showing you pictures and telling you what the toy is called.

Similarly, if you are reading a book in Chinese or speaking to someone who speaks Chinese and you don't know what a word means, you can look it up in a dictionary. The Chinese dictionary will show you what the word means in English or Chinese and help you understand what you're reading or saying.

It's an incredibly useful tool for people learning Chinese or for people who speak Chinese as their first language. It can also help you learn new words and improve your vocabulary by showing you the meanings of new words that you might not have known before. So, just like a map helps you find your way to a new place, a Chinese dictionary helps you find your way to new words and meanings!
