How it is used
- A flower/bloom as an individual blossom - 美丽的花朵 (měilì de huāduǒ) beautiful flowers.
- 花朵 stresses the blossom itself and reads a touch more literary than plain 花 (huā); often used figuratively for children: 祖国的花朵 (zǔguó de huāduǒ) the flowers of the nation.
- 朵 (duǒ) is also the measure word for flowers, so 一朵花 = one flower.
Example sentences
