楼(樓) lóu building; floor - Mandarin Chinese
Definition[edit | edit source]
Radical is the pictograph 木 mù “tree.” This radical is referred to colloquially as 木字旁 mùzìpáng “side made up of the character 木.” Note that when 木 is written at the left of a character as a radical, its last stroke is shortened so that it doesn’t collide with the component to its right. Phonetic is 娄 (婁) lóu “weak.” Distinguish 楼 (樓) from 数 (數) shù.
