When to use Measure Words 串, 滴, 枝, 扇, 卷 and 番
Like 个 or 本, these measure words go between a number (or 这 / 那) and the noun, and each one is chosen by the thing’s shape: 串 for things joined or hanging together (一串钥匙, 一串葡萄), 滴 for drops (一滴水), 枝 for a flower on its stem or a branch (一枝花), 扇 (shàn) for doors and windows (一扇门), and 卷 for rolls (一卷纸, read juǎn) or book volumes (第一卷, read juàn). 番 is different: it counts an action, not a thing, and comes after the verb: 打扫了一番.
桌子上放着一串钥匙。

跑了这么久，他一滴水也没喝。
He ran for so long without drinking a single drop of water.
我们送给老师一枝花。

よくある間違い
- The measure word 扇 is shàn: 一扇门 is yī shàn mén. shān is the verb “to fan”.
- 卷 is juǎn for rolls (一卷纸) but juàn for book volumes: read 第一卷 as dì yī juàn.
- Use 次 to count times: 我去过三次北京, not 我去过三番北京; 番 is for one thorough round, as in 研究了一番.
