用法
- Two readings split cleanly. jiǎ = "fake, false": 假话 (jiǎhuà) a lie, 假的 (jiǎ de) fake, opposite of 真 (zhēn); also "if" in 假如 (jiǎrú)/假设 (jiǎshè) - 真话 (zhēnhuà) the truth.
- jià = "holiday, leave": 放假 (fàngjià) to be on vacation, 请假 (qǐngjià) to ask for time off, 暑假 (shǔjià) summer break, 假期 (jiàqī) vacation period.
- Same character, so context and tone decide: 假期 (jiàqī, vacation) vs 假期望 would be odd - reading follows meaning, not spelling.
