How to use 财产
财产 is a formal noun for everything a person or organization owns, such as money, houses and land. It often appears in legal and news contexts, like 个人财产 (gèrén cáichǎn, personal property) or 公共财产 (gōnggòng cáichǎn, public property). Example: 这些都是公司的财产。(Zhèxiē dōu shì gōngsī de cáichǎn.) These are all company property.
财 (cái) has the shell radical 贝, since shells were once used as money, so it means wealth. 产 (chǎn) means to produce, so 财产 is the wealth you have produced and own: your property.
Common mistake: Learners often write 财 with 才 alone or confuse it with 材 (cái, material), which has the wood radical 木 instead of 贝. Also remember 产 is third tone chǎn, not chān.
