用法
- Highly productive suffix meaning "device/instrument", rarely a standalone word.
- Builds countless compounds: 机器 (jīqì) machine, 电器 (diànqì) appliance, 乐器 (yuèqì) musical instrument, 武器 (wǔqì) weapon, 浏览器 (liúlǎnqì) web browser.
- Compare with 具 (jù), the suffix for tools/furnishings (工具 gōngjù tool, 家具 jiājù furniture): 器 leans toward devices, instruments, and vessels rather than hand tools.
- Also used literally for containers/vessels, e.g. 容器 (róngqì): container.
