儿子
érzi
son
Type: NounsHSK 1
儿 (child) + 子 (child). Both characters mean 'child', and together they reinforce the idea of a son.
In traditional Chinese, 兒 is written with the radical 臼 (mortar), because a baby's head was once thought to resemble that vessel. Simplified Chinese dropped that shape.
我有一个儿子。
Wǒ yǒu yī gè érzi.
I have a son.
