In the world of furniture, the term 「几」 refers to small or low tables, which play a crucial role in our daily lives. Let’s explore the different contexts where 「几」 is used:
Mandarin Pinyin: jǐ (third tone)
Cantonese Jyutping: gei1 (first tone)
- Small or Low Tables: The character 「几」 is commonly used to describe small or low tables. Examples include:
- 「茶几」 (tea table)
- 「窗明几淨」 (a phrase describing a bright and clean room, literally “the window is bright and the table is clean”)
These tables, though small in size, add a touch of elegance and functionality to any space. Whether it’s a 「茶几」 for serving tea or a well-placed table that contributes to a 「窗明几淨」 environment, 「几」 proves that even the smallest pieces of furniture can have a significant impact on our living spaces.
