About Not Just 个
A free Chinese measure word finder for Mandarin learners of any age. Currently under active content review.
What this is
Not Just 个 helps learners find the natural Chinese measure word for any noun. It accepts English, Chinese, and pinyin, and shows the everyday answer first, with alternatives that explain when they apply.
The product follows a tight principle: show a Reviewed answer only when a Mandarin-speaking editor has actually reviewed it. When there is no Reviewed answer yet, the page says so.
Current status
The first public preview is being reviewed. We found errors in the first batch of Published answers during a self-audit, and several entries are being re-checked before they go live again. The site is therefore marked noindex for now and does not appear in search engines until re-audit is complete.
What this means in practice:
- The headline answer is usually correct, but treat anything that reads off as draft, not as gospel.
- Submit a request or report if you spot one that reads wrong.
- Do not rely on the data set as the only source for a test or class until we move out of the audit.
What it does not do
- It is not a full Chinese dictionary.
- It does not teach grammar, stroke order, or characters.
- It does not run ads, require an account, or sell data.
- It does not generate answers with a live AI. Every Published entry is hand-reviewed.
Data layers
- Layer A: Reviewed editorial data. Concepts, senses, classifiers, and reviewed usages. This is what produces the answers.
- Layer B: CC-CEDICT fallback. Used for nouns without a Reviewed entry. Currently disabled in the UI while the license and provenance are being checked.
- Layer C: Public research dataset (draft candidates). Used to surface draft answers for some Chinese nouns. Draft answers are clearly labeled and never appear on indexed pages.
Brand and language
The brand mark is the phrase Not Just 个. The character 个 is highlighted because the product helps users move past the default "one 个 of X" reflex and find the classifier that native speakers actually use.
The interface is English. The Chinese shown is Simplified by default, with one-click switching to Traditional.
