Hello everyone:

I am a new member here. I am very glad to find this forum and hope to learn a lot from all of you.

I am not Chinese but am interested in learning the language. I am learning to identify the
radicals in Chinese. I have been trying to identify the radicals of the characters shown in the
pictures below without much success. Please help me. Thank you very much.



(I tried radical "hand" and could not find any character that would resemble it)



(I am not sure if the radical for this character is "man". If it is, does the character mean
"deceiving"?)

the radical of "榜" is "木" and the radical of "义" is "丶"

The charactes in those pictures are in running script calligraphy, it takes some experience to
read those. As a beginner, perhaps you can start with printed text, much easier. You can move on
to reading things like these when you have a bit of a basis.

Thank you, rootfool and Lu.

rootfool, for some unknown reasons, I can only read the character 榜 and its root 木. For the
second character, both the character and its root you gave me appear to me as squares (义). Could
you tell me what the English equivalent of the second character?



榜

I think I have found the English explanation for the above character:

"a notice or announcement; a list of names; public roll of successful examinees"

It seems like your computer is set up to read only traditional characters. Can you see this
character: 義 ? It's YI4, the traditional equivalent of 义 , which you said you couldn't see.
It's primary meaning is "meaning", among others.

I don't know if it works but try this:
From your screen (I assume it's Internet Explorer), go to VIEW, go to ENCODING. From here, try
clicking on SIMPLIFIED CHINESE (there may be more than one or none) and see if the display is
corrected.

Good luck!

Thanks, HashiriKata. I got it. I used a traditional Chinese dictionary to read a simplified
character. With the character you gave me below, I was able to find it in my dictionary.


義

The radical (in English) is "goat"
The meaning is, as you said, "meaning". It also means "justice", "rightousness"

Many thanks to all of you for making me feel welcome. I hope to learn a lot more from you.

Cheers

The radical for the second character you posted is just a single dot. The radical for the
traditional form of it would be goat/sheep as you said.
