character '期' (qī) refers to a period of time or a specific date, often used in contexts like deadlines or phases in a process. It can also imply a hope or expectation regarding future outcomes. Commonly, '期' is found in phrases like '期望' (qīwàng), meaning hope or expectation.","Imagine the character '期' as a calendar page flipping over to a new date, representing the passage of time. The left part of the character suggests a horizon, symbolizing looking forward to future dates. Remember that 'qī' sounds like 'key', as in a key date to remember.","'期' is often used in both formal and informal contexts, particularly in scheduling and planning. A common mistake is to confuse it with '期' pronounced as 'qi' in some dialects, leading to miscommunication. Watch out for tone, as 'qī' (first tone) is different from 'qí' (second tone), which can change the meaning.","Although '期' is not explicitly listed in HSK levels, it appears in vocabulary surrounding time and planning. Students should focus on its usage in common phrases and practice contextualizing it within sentences about schedules or expectations, connecting it with words like '时间' (shíjiān, time) and '希望' (xīwàng, hope).","'期' is frequently used in Chinese business culture, especially concerning deadlines and project phases, reflecting the importance of time management in professional settings. Understanding its usage can help in navigating workplace communication effectively.",[737,740,743],{"a":738,"q":739},"'期' can be used to indicate a deadline, like in '提交截止日期是下个星期一' (The submission deadline is next Monday).","How do you use '期' in sentences?",{"a":741,"q":742},"'期' generally refers to a specific period, while '时期' (shíqī) indicates a broader historical or significant time period.","What is the difference between '期' and '时期'?",{"a":744,"q":745},"Yes, '期' is versatile and can be used in both formal and informal contexts, such as planning a meeting.","Can I use '期' in informal conversations?","Learners often confuse '期' with similar-sounding words, leading to incorrect usage, such as saying '这个期' (this period) when they mean '这个时间' (this time). Always ensure the context matches the intended meaning.","期 (qī) vs 时 (shí) — use 期 for defined periods or dates, while 时 refers more generally to time or moments.","2026-03-24T08:22:08.000Z",{"title":21,"description":21,"og_image":21},{},[],[],"/chinese-dictionary/chinese-to-english/hsk-3/%E6%9C%9F-qi1/",{"hanzi":7,"pinyin":289,"tone":11,"tone_class":291,"first_gloss":301,"hsk_level":25,"radical":43,"stroke_count":41,"audio_url":294,"word_family":755,"slug":6},[486,492,7,501,508],[757,760,763],{"name":758,"url":759},"Dictionary","/chinese-dictionary/",{"name":761,"url":762},"HSK 4","/chinese-dictionary/hsk-4/",{"name":7,"url":753},{"senses":647,"pronunciations":11,"examples":285,"compounds":270,"words_with":765,"confusables":270,"flashcards":270,"quizzes":270,"checkpoints":283},20,{"defined_term":767,"learning_resource":776,"breadcrumb_list":786,"faq_page":794},{"@context":768,"@type":769,"name":7,"description":301,"inLanguage":770,"inDefinedTermSet":771,"url":775},"https://schema.org","DefinedTerm","zh",{"@type":772,"name":773,"url":774},"DefinedTermSet","HSK 4 Vocabulary","https://beta.mandarintemple.com/chinese-dictionary/hsk-4/","https://beta.mandarintemple.com/chinese-dictionary/chinese-to-english/hsk-3/%E6%9C%9F-qi1/",{"@context":768,"@type":777,"name":778,"description":779,"educationalLevel":761,"teaches":780,"inLanguage":781,"learningResourceType":783,"isAccessibleForFree":9,"url":775},"LearningResource","期 (qī) — HSK 4 Chinese","Chinese 期 (qī): period.
