Now let's learn the Chinese word for violet, zi luo lan. Zi luo lan, the first character
in English means purple, and this character is made up of two parts, this is the upper
part. You need to pay attention to the strokes of the lower part. One stroke, and this is
the second stroke, it looks like they are parallel and you put a dot here, and this
is the last part. The last part of this character is xiao. In Chinese it means small. Zi and
luo, this is the upper part and lower. Lan, this is lan is the same lan as we have in
the word orchid, lan hua. Ok, so let me write zi luo lan again. Just one stroke, a vertical turning hook and
a very short left falling. Zi luo lan, violet.
