Reading these is one thing; producing 者 yourself is another. Cloze in Context takes a sentence from this same bank, removes one word and asks you to put it back — beginner, intermediate and advanced.
者 appears in 47 sentences on this site; the 24 shortest and most direct are shown. The rest are on the pages they were written for — the graded readers, the phrasebook and the grammar library.
Words that contain 者
Each of these has sentences of its own, so you can see the character doing a different job in each one.
Questions about 者
How is 者 used in a sentence?
This page shows 47 sentences using 者 (zhě, "Person ([who does something] 'ist 'er 'or)"), 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 者 inside a longer word?
Because that is where a single character usually lives. Seeing 者 inside the words it builds is how the character stops being an isolated symbol and starts being something you can read.
Where can I see the full entry for 者?
The dictionary page for 者 has its stroke order, its traditional form, every sense the dictionary lists and a character-by-character breakdown. It is linked at the top of this page.
