Learning Chinese - Understanding Hui (回) - 汉字

Heys guys!! What’s up!

I hope you’re doing awesome!!

Today I’m going to explain the Hui2 回.

The 回 hanzi is widely used in chinese language to express “return”.

For example

1)

现在我要回家

xiàn zài wǒ yào huí jiā

Now I want to go home. (Return home)

2)

请，告诉她给我回个电话

Qǐng, gàosù tā gěi wǒ huí gè diànhuà

Please, tell her to give me a call (A return call).

So, both examples use Hui2回 to express “return”.

At first glance when I looked this ideogram I was starring like “How can this express the idea of returning?”

Well, here is the explanation.

In ancient China, there was the whirlpool pictoram.

      

If thought for a while you realise that In a whirlpool the water always returns to the origin.

After many years it has evolved to that:

So that’s why the word or idea of returning is expressed by drawn like that (A thing that returns to its origin). 

Now, we have the current handwriting:

So I hope you liked it!!
