This is the 912th most frequent Chinese word.


"Read" or "study."


Here, "读" is used to mean 'to attend' a school or university, implying studying there.

他正在读大学。

He is attending university.


In this sentence, "读" means 'to read' as in reading a book.

我每天都会读一本书。

I read a book every day.


In this example, "读" again means 'to read,' but it emphasizes the difficulty of understanding the content while reading.

这种文章真难读。

This type of article is really hard to read.
