About this quiz

What you’ll practice

Measure words (量词) are essential for counting and describing nouns in Chinese, and this quiz helps you recognize the most basic ones quickly.

Each question is multiple-choice with 4 options and no timer, so you can focus on accuracy and building reliable instincts.

Difficulty and quiz settings

Difficulty is mixed: you’ll see very common pairings (like 个 with general nouns) alongside frequent everyday classifiers (like 本, 张, 杯, 只) to keep the challenge balanced.

You can choose the question count and difficulty before starting—go shorter for a warm-up, or use the full set for a stronger review session.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Overusing 个 for everything when a more natural classifier exists
Mixing up similar “flat object” and “sheet” uses (e.g., 张 vs other options)
Forgetting that some nouns prefer a specific measure word in daily speech
Guessing based only on meaning instead of common collocations
Rushing and missing context clues in the sentence

Tips to improve faster

When you miss a question, note the noun + measure word as a pair and say it aloud a few times; repetition of collocations is what makes measure words stick.
