Thank you for your suggestion! I'll consider various font styles for future videos. It's essential to balance artistic choices with readability to cater to all viewers. Your feedback is much appreciated, and I'll keep it in mind as I plan upcoming content!
This is the best video on this topic: trust me, I've looked. Ways you could improve it: use simplified radicals Don't go blindly by common definitions. Some of these aren't quite what they claimi to be. Pig snout is really brush, hairs; shan shadows light likewise doesn't really mean beard. Indicate which radicals are very rare at least in Chinese. Maybe Japanese uses lots of salted sacrificial wine? I never or nearly never see that one in Chinese. But despite these suggestions for how a second better version could be made yours is THE BEST Kangxi Radical introduction on youtube!
Before making this video, I searched all Chinese radicals and found those good-ranking videos are older. People commented this kind of video is helpful to have some ideas about Chinese characters because many Chinese characters are pictograms. That's why I decided to make a newer video with definitions from Wiki and pick photos that look like the shape of Chinese characters. Since it's all 214 Chinese radicals, inevitably, the length would be longer, and from a RUclips analytic point of view, it might hurt the retention rate, leading to less audience reach. Considering that, I made this as an introduction, tried my best to make it as short as possible, and I'll upload categorized Chinese radicals shortly. (Relating to nature, animals, etc.) The next phase would show the audience some characters from those radicals to reinforce the learnings. I'll consider providing simplified and traditional characters as examples that time. Thanks for your comments, and I'll keep going. 💪 PS. There's one character under 鬯, and it's 鬱 (melancholy) in traditional Chinese. Simply looking at 鬱 makes me melancholy; it's a complicated character. 🤣
www.moedict.tw/ www.twpen.com/ Here are two links where you can input Chinese characters. They will show you the stroke order. I don't plan to create a video about stroke order but thank you for your interest.
I wonder if such a video exists In Chinese? Never looked for it but if there were a chinese language version (learning chinese in chinese is best) that would be great to see. 加油！
Um...my personal opinion, most Chinese learning videos aim for Chinese as a second language audience, and a larger audience means (potential) more views. For learning Chinese in Chinese, maybe the "learn Chinese from stories or conversations" style of videos is popular. Overall, learning how to have conversations is in higher demand than how to read. I'm planning to add more varieties to my channel. Reading or speaking, and some for RUclips search-based evergreen content. Learning Chinese in Chinese is a good idea, and I'll try to see how I can make informative videos. 謝謝 😀
Knowing Chinese radicals can help you locate where the radicals are in different Chinese characters, understand their meaning, and improve your reading ability. Additionally, knowing Chinese radicals can help you learn new characters more efficiently by breaking them down into smaller parts and remembering the characters better. I suggest you watch another video about the top 20 Chinese radicals next because the top 20 Chinese radicals cover around 40% of the Chinese characters and can help you understand them more efficiently, increase your reading ability, and learn new characters more quickly. ruclips.net/video/3FizmFTaZPw/видео.html
I need examples of words where it's used, guide to how it's used in different positions in characters, and explanation for how I can guess the meaning of a new word based on these radicals recognition. But it's nowhere to be found. Everybody just names the radicals and moves on from this topic.
I introduced the top 20 Chinese radicals and some examples in this video. Those Chinese radicals show in different positions, and I gave the components meaning. ruclips.net/video/3FizmFTaZPw/видео.html Or check this Chinese radical: grass (the most commonly used) playlist. ruclips.net/p/PLlfssag9dWfbmERrbfYBWuYCo4gN-He5Q I hope they're helpful. 😊
@@YaoMandarin Your grass radical playlist is fantastic. I wish I could learn about more of the most commonly used Chinese radicals as precisely as it's possible from your grass radical playlist ❤
I have other videos about Chinese radicals combined with other characters. Colors in Chinese: ruclips.net/video/XHA3wprZDVw/видео.html 3 Chinese radicals combined the same character to make new characters: ruclips.net/video/VAMerEtqEpI/видео.html ruclips.net/video/CDjDWZkBM28/видео.html ruclips.net/video/c5WN6Q8Yfbs/видео.html ruclips.net/video/cJWzBv37tfI/видео.html Before I started this channel, I researched Chinese listening, speaking, reading, and writing learning materials. Reading and writing have less content; people probably tend to learn to listen and speak so that they can practice right away and feel happy that they learned some Mandarin. I guess it's part of why it's hard to find content that decomposes characters.
As a Mandarin Chinese learner let me assure you that you're not going to learn anything in a 10 minute long video. Just open your textbook and all 214 will be revealed to you.
Thank you for your comment. Learning 214 Chinese radicals in 10 minutes may seem impossible or unrealistic. This video provides a quick way to review or memorize the radicals. I hope you find it useful and enjoyable. 😊
Google translates the word "say" as 曰 (the middle horizontal stroke doesn't reach the right edge) but you translated it as a slithly bigger version of 日. Did you make a mistake?
曰 yuē say and 日 rì sun looks similar, and 曰 yuē say is shorter and chubbier than 日 rì sun. I checked with the below resources, some calligraphy examples, and found whether the middle horizontal stroke of 曰 yuē reaches the right edge probably relates to the font. Personally, I prefer the middle horizontal stroke曰 yuē and 日 rì to reach the right edge. 😀 📘 dict.mini.moe.edu.tw/SearchIndex/word_detail?wordID=D0003135&breadcrumbs=Search_%E6%9B%B0_one&dictSearchField=%E6%9B%B0 📗 www.moedict.tw/%E6%9B%B0 📙 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radical_73

As Chinese radicals, they're not frequently used, mainly uncommonly used characters under them.

阝 is an interesting Chinese radical. When 阝 shows on the left, such as 陳 chén, 阝 is called 阜 fù. If on the right, such as 都 dū, 阝 is called 邑 yì. 左 zuǒ (left) 阜 fù 右 yòu (right) 邑 yì. Here's a video in that I briefly explained it. ruclips.net/video/9Eyx7Q0MeIU/видео.html Thank you.
