How to use 捐助
捐助 is used for giving money or goods to people in need, schools, or disaster areas, often in news and formal writing. It can be a verb or a noun meaning a donation. Example: 很多人捐助了灾区。(Hěn duō rén juānzhù le zāiqū.) Many people donated to the disaster area.
捐 (juān) has the hand radical 扌, so picture a hand giving something away, and 助 (zhù) means to help, as in 帮助 (bāngzhù). A hand that gives in order to help is 捐助, to donate.
Common mistake: Learners often write 捐 with the wrong right side or mix it up with 损 (sǔn, to damage), which looks similar but means the opposite. Also, do not use 捐助 for sponsoring an event in exchange for publicity. That is 赞助 (zànzhù).
