With Mrs Mildly-Angry Carrot-Face Handy Measure Words 把 - Things You Handle
I, Mrs Mildly-Angry Carrot-Face will teach you about measure words. (They go in front of nouns, but I’m sure you know that.)
It goes like this: Number + measure word + noun. In English you say, “one sword,” but in Chinese we would say “one + measure word + sword.”
This measure word is for things with handles or things you can handle, and it is…
把
One sword 一把剑
Two chairs 两把椅子
Three knives 三把刀
Four fans 四把扇子
Five combs 五把梳子
