How to use 裙子
裙子 (qúnzi) means skirt, and it often covers dresses too in everyday speech. A full dress is more precisely 连衣裙 (liányīqún). Example: 她今天穿了一条红裙子。(Tā jīntiān chuān le yì tiáo hóng qúnzi.) She is wearing a red skirt today.
裙 (qún) has the clothing radical 衤 on the left and 君 (jūn) on the right, which gives the sound. Picture a piece of clothing that sounds like jūn, and you have qún, a skirt.
Common mistake: Learners often write the left side as 礻 (the spirit radical) instead of 衤 (the clothing radical). The clothing radical has an extra short stroke, so check for it. Also, the 子 here is neutral tone, so say qúnzi, not qún zǐ.
