When to use The Suffix 头
Read noun or adjective + 头 as a sentence tool, not just as vocabulary. First locate the main action or claim, then ask what 头 adds to it.
木头做的桌子很结实。
A table made of wood is sturdy.
石头很重。
The stone is heavy.
Common traps
- Do not translate noun or adjective + 头 mechanically from English; check the Chinese word order first.
- Keep 头 close to the part of the sentence it controls.
- Do not overuse the pattern in every sentence; use it when it adds a clear role.
