用法
- Verb 'transform/melt' and the productive suffix '-ize/-ify' - 现代化 (xiàndàihuà) modernize, 优化 (yōuhuà) optimize, 美化 (měihuà) beautify.
- As a standalone process word: 冰化了 (bīng huà le) the ice melted, 消化 (xiāohuà) digest.
- 文化 (wénhuà) culture and 化学 (huàxué) chemistry both hinge on 'transformation'; 化妆 (huàzhuāng) = put on makeup, not 'change clothes'.
