How answers are ranked
Each result shows the everyday default first. Alternatives explain the context where they replace the default, not a raw list.
Browse common classifiers
Each classifier explains its core idea and shows reviewed nouns where it fits.
Reviewed, not guessed
Every Published result is checked by a Mandarin reviewer. No real-time AI answers. If we do not have a Reviewed result yet, we say so.
Honest about limits
For things usually counted by container or amount (water, coffee, rice), we list the common ways rather than invent a single best answer.
Free, no account, no ads
The site is free to use. We do not require an account, do not run ads, and do not sell data. CC-CEDICT powers the wider fallback layer under CC BY-SA 4.0.
Start with a word you already know.
A noun you know in English. A noun you know in Chinese. A word you typed once and forgot. It all starts with one search.
