妈(媽) mā mom in Mandarin Chinese

Radical is 女 nǚ “woman”. This radical is referred to colloquially as 女字旁 nǚzìpáng “side made up of the character 女.” When 女 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 马 (馬) mă “horse”. Distinguish 妈 (媽) from 吗 (嗎) ma.

Examples

妈妈 (媽媽) māma mom, mommy [N]

妈 (媽) mā mom, mommy [N]
