How it is used
- Bound character: it essentially never stands alone in modern Mandarin.
- 逻辑 luójí "logic" is a phonetic loan of the English word and extremely common in speech: 你这样说没有逻辑 (nǐ zhèyàng shuō méiyǒu luójí), "what you're saying makes no sense."
- 巡逻 xúnluó "to patrol" (police, soldiers) is unrelated in meaning: the two compounds just happen to share this character.
