character 费 (fèi) primarily means 'to cost' or 'to spend', and it is often used in contexts involving expenses or fees. It can also imply wastefulness when referring to resources or money. This word is commonly encountered in discussions about financial matters or budgeting.","Imagine a 'fee' being charged for a service, like a ticket fee to a concert. The character 费 resembles a person with their arms raised, asking for money (the radicals suggest spending), and the 'fèi' sounds like 'fate', as if your fate is tied to how you manage your expenses.","Learners often confuse 费 with the character 花 (huā), which also means to spend, but with a focus on spending money rather than incurring costs. It's important to use 费 in contexts involving fees or costs, and be careful with the tone; 费 is pronounced with a falling tone, which can change its meaning if mispronounced.","While not part of the HSK vocabulary list, 费 is crucial for discussing costs and expenses, which aligns with HSK Level 3 themes of everyday life. Students should focus on how to use 费 in phrases like 费用 (costs) and 学费 (tuition fee) to expand their vocabulary.","In Chinese culture, discussions around spending and expenses are often linked to family and community responsibilities. For instance, the concept of 费用 is significant in the context of weddings, where families discuss and plan financial contributions.",[755,758,761],{"a":756,"q":757},"费 specifically refers to costs or fees incurred, while 花 focuses more on the act of spending money.","What is the difference between 费 and 花?",{"a":759,"q":760},"You can say '这个产品的费用很高' (The cost of this product is high) to illustrate its usage.","How do you use 费 in a sentence?",{"a":762,"q":763},"No, 费 can be used in both formal and informal contexts, but be mindful of your audience when discussing financial matters.","Is 费 used in formal contexts only?","Learners sometimes mistakenly use 费 in contexts that require 花 instead, such as saying '我费了很多钱' instead of '我花了很多钱' (I spent a lot of money). Remember that 费 is more about costs and fees, while 花 is about the act of spending.","费用 (cost) vs 花费 (expenditure) — use 费 (fèi) when discussing the act of incurring costs rather than the total amount.","2026-03-24T08:21:40.000Z",{"title":21,"description":21,"og_image":21},{},[],[],"/chinese-dictionary/chinese-to-english/hsk-3/%E8%B4%B9-fei4/",{"hanzi":7,"pinyin":294,"tone":24,"tone_class":296,"first_gloss":399,"hsk_level":24,"radical":43,"stroke_count":41,"audio_url":299,"word_family":773,"slug":6},[496,503,510,7,519],[775,778,781],{"name":776,"url":777},"Dictionary","/chinese-dictionary/",{"name":779,"url":780},"HSK 4","/chinese-dictionary/hsk-4/",{"name":7,"url":771},{"senses":290,"pronunciations":11,"examples":270,"compounds":11,"words_with":783,"confusables":278,"flashcards":278,"quizzes":278,"checkpoints":290},20,{"defined_term":785,"learning_resource":794,"breadcrumb_list":804,"faq_page":812},{"@context":786,"@type":787,"name":7,"description":399,"inLanguage":788,"inDefinedTermSet":789,"url":793},"https://schema.org","DefinedTerm","zh",{"@type":790,"name":791,"url":792},"DefinedTermSet","HSK 4 Vocabulary","https://beta.mandarintemple.com/chinese-dictionary/hsk-4/","https://beta.mandarintemple.com/chinese-dictionary/chinese-to-english/hsk-3/%E8%B4%B9-fei4/",{"@context":786,"@type":795,"name":796,"description":797,"educationalLevel":779,"teaches":798,"inLanguage":799,"learningResourceType":801,"isAccessibleForFree":9,"url":793},"LearningResource","费 (fèi) — HSK 4 Chinese","Chinese 费 (fèi): to cost.
