How to use 果汁
果汁 is the everyday word for fruit juice, and you can name the fruit in front of it, like 苹果汁 (píngguǒ zhī, apple juice) or 橙汁 (chéngzhī, orange juice). It is common when ordering drinks. Example: 我要一杯果汁。(Wǒ yào yì bēi guǒzhī.) I'd like a glass of juice.
果 (guǒ) shows fruit hanging on a tree, and 汁 (zhī) has the water radical 氵 on the left, so it means liquid. Fruit plus liquid gives you 果汁, fruit juice.
Common mistake: Learners often write 汁 as 汗 (hàn, sweat), which also has 氵 but has 干 on the right instead of 十. Also keep the tone of 汁 as first tone, zhī, not zhì.
