How to remember 骏

骏 is a pictophonetic character. 马 (mǎ, horse) on the left gives the meaning, and 夋 on the right gives the sound jùn, so think of it as a horse that stands out from the rest.

骏 rarely appears alone in modern Chinese. You will mostly see it in the word 骏马 (jùnmǎ) and in literary or descriptive writing. Example: 草原上跑着一匹骏马。(Cǎoyuán shàng pǎo zhe yī pǐ jùnmǎ.) A fine horse is running on the grassland.

Common mistake: Learners often mix up 骏 with 俊 (jùn, handsome) and 峻 (jùn, steep), because all three share 夋 and the same sound. Check the left side: 马 for horses, 亻 for people, 山 for mountains.
