Questions about 九
How is 九 used in a sentence?
This page shows 7 sentences using 九 (jiǔ, "Nine"), each with pinyin, an English translation and audio. Every one of them was written by hand for this site.
Are these sentences machine generated?
No. They come from the site's own dictionary examples, graded readers, travel phrasebook and grammar library — all written by a person. A word with no sentence gets no page here, rather than a page of invented ones.
Why do some sentences show 九 inside a longer word?
Because that is where a single character usually lives. Seeing 九 inside the words it builds is how the character stops being an isolated symbol and starts being something you can read.
Is 九 an HSK word?
Yes — 九 is on the official HSK 1 vocabulary list, and you can study it with the rest of that list on the HSK 1 page.
