用法
- Chopsticks - bamboo radical ⺮ over 快 (kuài, fast/phonetic). The word is 筷子 (kuàizi).
- Measure words: 一双筷子 (yì shuāng kuàizi) a pair of chopsticks, or 一根筷子 (yì gēn kuàizi) a single chopstick.
- Folk etymology: the phonetic 快 replaced an older word to avoid a 'stop/slow' homophone on boats - a memory hook, since 筷子 sounds like 'quick ones'.
