How to use 汇款
汇款 works as a verb (to send money, usually through a bank or service) and as a noun (the remittance itself). It often appears with 给 to show the receiver. Example: 我每个月给父母汇款。(Wǒ měi gè yuè gěi fùmǔ huìkuǎn.) I send money to my parents every month.
汇 (huì) has the water radical 氵, like streams flowing together into one place, and 款 (kuǎn) means a sum of money. Picture money flowing like water from your account to someone else's: 汇款 is sending money.
Common mistake: Learners often write 汇 with the wrong inside part or confuse it with 江 (jiāng, river), since both have 氵. Also remember 款 is third tone, kuǎn, not first tone.
