队(隊) duì team, group - Mandarin Chinese
Definition[edit | edit source]
Radical is 阜 fù “mound,” which is written 阝 when occurring at the left-hand side of a character. This radical is referred to colloquially as 左耳旁 zuŏ’ĕrpáng “side made up of a left ear.” The simplified form reflects the fact that a “team” or “group” 队 is composed of “people” 人. Distinguish simplified 队 from simplified 从 cóng and simplified 认 rèn.
