用法How to use 花
花 (huā) as a noun means 'flower' — the bloom of a plant, or cut flowers you buy or give; it takes measure words like 朵 (one flower) or 束 (a bunch) and appears in compounds such as 花园 (garden) and 花店 (flower shop). The same word is also a verb meaning 'to spend' money or time, as in 花钱 and 花时间.
