Strokes25Frequency#11935DifficultyHard
Cultural note

In Chinese education, 解答 is a fundamental part of teaching methods, especially in mathematics and sciences, where teachers encourage students to explain their reasoning step by step.

Memory tip

Picture a student (解) breaking down a complicated math problem (答) into simple parts to find the solution. Think of '解' as the student 'solving' and '答' as the 'answer' they are reaching for, helping you remember the pronunciation and meaning.

AI study notes for 解答

Quick Contrast

回答 (huídá) vs 解答 (jiědá): use 解答 when emphasizing the process of solving or explaining a problem, whereas 回答 is more general for providing any kind of answer.

Usage Notes

Be careful not to confuse 解答 with just 答 (dá), which means 'answer' alone; 解答 implies a process of explanation. It is more formal and used in educational contexts, while 答 can be used casually. A common collocation is '解答问题' (to answer questions).

HSK Study Tips

Although not directly listed in HSK, 解答 can be useful for learners at HSK 3 and above, where problem-solving and explanation are common themes. Students should focus on its application in contexts like math, quizzes, and academic discussions.

Common Mistakes

Learners often confuse 解答 with just 答, using it in casual contexts where a simpler answer suffices. For instance, saying '我解答了' (I answered) instead of '我回答了' (I replied) is incorrect in informal settings.
