苹果
When you're just starting to learn Chinese, "苹果" (píng guǒ) is a great word to know. It's the Chinese word for "apple."
You can use "苹果" when you want to talk about the fruit itself, whether you're buying it, eating it, or just pointing one out.
It's a common noun, so it's quite versatile in simple sentences.
For example, you could say "我要苹果" (wǒ yào píng guǒ), meaning "I want an apple."
When you're just starting out in Chinese, one of the first words you'll learn for food is 苹果 (píngguǒ), meaning 'apple'. It's a very common fruit, so it's a great word to know right away.
You can use 苹果 in simple sentences, like describing what you like to eat or what you're buying. For example, if you want to say 'I eat apples', you'd say 我吃苹果 (wǒ chī píngguǒ). If you like apples, you can say 我喜欢苹果 (wǒ xǐhuan píngguǒ).
You might also hear it in phrases related to health, as 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away' is a well-known concept in many cultures. Remember, the tone of 苹 is flat (first tone) and the tone of 果 is rising (third tone), which is important for correct pronunciation.
You likely already know this common word. However, do you know how to use it in everyday conversation? You can simply say “我要苹果” (wǒ yào píngguǒ) to mean “I want an apple.”
It can also be combined with other words to create new meanings. For example, 苹果汁 (píngguǒ zhī) means “apple juice,” and 苹果派 (píngguǒ pài) means “apple pie.” Try to use 苹果 in different contexts.
When talking about 苹果 (píngguǒ), most people think of the fruit 'apple'. This is the most common meaning, and it's something you'll encounter often in daily conversations.
However, in modern Chinese, 苹果 also widely refers to the brand 'Apple' (think iPhones, MacBooks, etc.). So, if someone says they just bought a new 苹果, they likely mean an Apple device, not a basket of fruit!
Context is key here. If you're in a fruit market, it's probably the fruit. If you're in an electronics store or discussing gadgets, it's almost certainly the brand.
When you're at a Chinese market or grocery store, you'll often hear the word 苹果 (píngguǒ). It simply means 'apple'.
For example, if you want to buy some apples, you could say: 我要苹果 (wǒ yào píngguǒ), meaning 'I want apples'. Or, if someone offers you one, they might ask: 你喜欢苹果吗？(nǐ xǐhuān píngguǒ ma?) – 'Do you like apples?'
When talking about 苹果 (píngguǒ), we are referring to the common fruit, 'apple'. This is a fundamental word in Chinese, often one of the first nouns learners encounter.
It's used directly, much like in English, to simply mean 'an apple' or 'apples'. You'll see it in contexts like buying fruit or describing food.
苹果 en 30 secondes
- A common, round, edible fruit.
- Often red, green, or yellow.
- Known for its crisp texture and sweet or tart taste.
§ What does 苹果 (Píngguǒ) mean and how do people use it?
Alright, let's get straight to it. Today we're breaking down a super common and important Chinese word: 苹果 (Píngguǒ). This word is your go-to for 'apple'. No tricks, no hidden meanings, just good old 'apple'. You'll hear this one a lot, whether you're talking about fruit, buying groceries, or even in some tech contexts (more on that later!). It's a fundamental word, so mastering it early is a smart move for any beginner.
- DEFINITION
- Apple. A common, round fruit with red, green, or yellow skin and crisp flesh.
So, when do you use 苹果? Anytime you'd say 'apple' in English. It's really that simple. You want an apple? 你要一个苹果吗？ (Nǐ yào yī gè píngguǒ ma?) You see an apple? 那是一个苹果 (Nà shì yī gè píngguǒ). It's a noun, so it functions just like 'apple' in English sentences. You can count them, describe them, and talk about them in relation to other things. It's a versatile word that pops up in daily conversations constantly.
我喜欢吃苹果。(Wǒ xǐhuān chī píngguǒ.)
I like to eat apples.
这个苹果很甜。(Zhège píngguǒ hěn tián.)
This apple is very sweet.
You'll often hear it in a shopping context. If you're at a market or supermarket and want to buy apples, you'll use 苹果. You can ask for a specific quantity, for example, 两个苹果 (liǎng gè píngguǒ) for 'two apples'. Remember, for counting most objects in Chinese, you'll need a measure word. For fruits like apples, the most common measure word is 个 (gè).
Beyond just the fruit, 苹果 also has a very common association with Apple Inc., the technology company. So, if you're talking about an iPhone or a MacBook, people will often just say 苹果. For instance, 苹果手机 (píngguǒ shǒujī) literally means 'apple mobile phone', which is how you'd say 'iPhone'. Similarly, 苹果电脑 (píngguǒ diànnǎo) means 'apple computer' or 'MacBook'. This is a good example of how common words can take on additional, context-specific meanings, but the core meaning of 'apple' is always there.
我有一个苹果手机。(Wǒ yǒu yī gè píngguǒ shǒujī.)
I have an iPhone (literally: an Apple mobile phone).
So, in summary, 苹果 (Píngguǒ) is a basic, essential Chinese noun meaning 'apple'. You'll use it to talk about the fruit itself, and it's also commonly used to refer to Apple brand products. Pay attention to the context, and you'll easily understand which 'apple' is being discussed. Practice using it in simple sentences about food and everyday objects, and you'll find it becoming second nature in no time.
- Common phrases using 苹果:
- 买苹果 (mǎi píngguǒ) - to buy apples
- 吃苹果 (chī píngguǒ) - to eat apples
- 一个苹果 (yī gè píngguǒ) - one apple

Keep practicing these basic words, and you'll build a solid foundation for your Chinese language journey. Don't overthink it, just use it!
§ Basic Usage of 苹果
The word 苹果 (píngguǒ) means 'apple'. It's a straightforward noun. You can use it just like you'd use 'apple' in English. No fancy grammar rules to start with, which is nice!
- DEFINITION
- apple
我喜欢吃苹果。(Wǒ xǐhuān chī píngguǒ.)
Translation hint: I like to eat apples.
§ Using Measure Words with 苹果
When you're talking about a specific number of apples, you need to use a measure word. For most fruits, including 苹果, the common measure word is 个 (gè).
- 一个苹果 (yī gè píngguǒ) - one apple
- 两个苹果 (liǎng gè píngguǒ) - two apples
- 三个苹果 (sān gè píngguǒ) - three apples
请给我一个苹果。(Qǐng gěi wǒ yī gè píngguǒ.)
Translation hint: Please give me one apple.
§ Describing 苹果 with Adjectives
You can use adjectives to describe apples, just like in English. The adjective usually comes before 苹果.
- 红苹果 (hóng píngguǒ) - red apple
- 甜苹果 (tián píngguǒ) - sweet apple
- 大苹果 (dà píngguǒ) - big apple
这个苹果很甜。(Zhège píngguǒ hěn tián.)

§ 苹果 in Questions
Asking questions with 苹果 is also simple. You can use common question words.
你想吃苹果吗？(Nǐ xiǎng chī píngguǒ ma?)

你有几个苹果？(Nǐ yǒu jǐ gè píngguǒ?)
Translation hint: How many apples do you have?
Alright, let's talk about 苹果 (píngguǒ), which means 'apple'. It seems simple enough, right? But even with basic words, learners often make some common mistakes. My goal here is to help you avoid those pitfalls so you sound more natural and less like you're translating directly from English.
§ Mistake 1: Confusing it with 'fruit' in general
The biggest mistake I see is using 苹果 when you really mean 'fruit'. In English, sometimes 'apple' can be a stand-in for 'fruit' in general expressions (e.g., 'an apple a day keeps the doctor away'). In Chinese, 苹果 is *always* 'apple' specifically. If you want to talk about fruit in general, you need to use 水果 (shuǐguǒ).
- Wrong
- 我喜欢吃苹果。(Wǒ xǐhuān chī píngguǒ.) - If you mean you like eating fruit in general, not just apples.
- Right
- 我喜欢吃水果。(Wǒ xǐhuān chī shuǐguǒ.) - I like eating fruit.
这盘水果里有苹果、香蕉和橘子。(Zhè pán shuǐguǒ lǐ yǒu píngguǒ, xiāngjiāo hé júzi.) - In this fruit plate, there are apples, bananas, and oranges.
§ Mistake 2: Not using a measure word
In Chinese, you almost always need a measure word (also called a classifier) when you're counting nouns. For 苹果, the most common and versatile measure word is 个 (gè).
- Wrong
- 我要三苹果。(Wǒ yào sān píngguǒ.) - I want three apple.
- Right
- 我要三个苹果。(Wǒ yào sān gè píngguǒ.) - I want three apples.
请给我一个苹果。(Qǐng gěi wǒ yī gè píngguǒ.) - Please give me one apple.
§ Mistake 3: Overthinking pluralization
Good news! Chinese nouns don't change form for plural. You don't add an '-s' or anything like that. If you want to indicate multiple apples, you either use a number with a measure word, or context will make it clear.
- 你喜欢吃苹果吗？(Nǐ xǐhuān chī píngguǒ ma?) - Do you like eating apples? (Implied plural, or general liking)
- 桌上有几个苹果。(Zhuō shàng yǒu jǐ gè píngguǒ.) - There are several apples on the table. (Explicit plural with number and measure word)
我们买了很多苹果。(Wǒmen mǎi le hěn duō píngguǒ.) - We bought a lot of apples.
§ Mistake 4: Literal translation of 'apple of my eye'
This is more of an idiom issue, but it's worth mentioning. 'Apple of my eye' is an English idiom for someone cherished. If you translate this literally into Chinese using 苹果, it will sound completely nonsensical. Chinese has its own beautiful idioms for this, like 掌上明珠 (zhǎng shàng míng zhū - a pearl in the palm, referring to a beloved daughter) or 心肝宝贝 (xīn gān bǎo bèi - heart, liver, precious, a term of endearment for a beloved child or person).
- Wrong
- 她是我的眼睛的苹果。(Tā shì wǒ de yǎnjīng de píngguǒ.) - She is the apple of my eye. (Literal, incorrect)
- Right
- 她是我掌上明珠。(Tā shì wǒ zhǎng shàng míng zhū.) - She is the apple of my eye. (Idiomatic, correct)
These are the main traps people fall into with 苹果. Pay attention to these points, and you'll be using 苹果 correctly in no time. Keep practicing!
§ What does 苹果 (píngguǒ) mean?
- Definition
- Apple. It's a common fruit.
When you're talking about the fruit 'apple', you use 苹果 (píngguǒ). It's straightforward. Just like in English, it refers to the round, often red or green, fruit.
我喜欢吃苹果。(Wǒ xǐhuān chī píngguǒ.)
I like to eat apples.
这个苹果很甜。(Zhè ge píngguǒ hěn tián.)
This apple is very sweet.
§ Similar words and when to use them
There aren't many direct 'similar words' to 苹果 (píngguǒ) when you mean the fruit itself. It's pretty specific. However, you might encounter other fruit names. Knowing how to use them generally is more important than finding a direct synonym for 'apple'.
- 水果 (shuǐguǒ) - Fruit: This is the general term for 'fruit'. If you want to talk about fruit in general, use this.
我喜欢吃水果。(Wǒ xǐhuān chī shuǐguǒ.)
I like to eat fruit.
When to use 苹果 vs. 水果:
- Use 苹果 when you specifically mean an apple.
- Use 水果 when you mean fruit in general, or you're talking about different kinds of fruit.
Other common fruits you might encounter:
- 香蕉 (xiāngjiāo) - Banana: Another common fruit.
我买了两根香蕉。(Wǒ mǎi le liǎng gēn xiāngjiāo.)
I bought two bananas.
Notice the measure word '根 (gēn)' for bananas, which means 'root' or 'stalk'. This is common for long, thin objects. This shows why learning individual measure words is important.
- 橘子 (júzi) - Tangerine/Mandarin orange: A popular citrus fruit.
他喜欢吃橘子。(Tā xǐhuān chī júzi.)
He likes to eat tangerines.
For橘子 (júzi), you can often use '个 (gè)' as the measure word, just like with 苹果 (píngguǒ). It's a versatile measure word.
§ When to use 苹果 (píngguǒ) in other contexts
It's worth noting that 苹果 (píngguǒ) is also commonly used to refer to 'Apple' as in the company, especially in phrases like 'Apple phone' (苹果手机 - píngguǒ shǒujī) or 'Apple computer' (苹果电脑 - píngguǒ diànnǎo). This is a direct transliteration and very common.
你用的是苹果手机吗？(Nǐ yòng de shì píngguǒ shǒujī ma?)
Do you use an Apple phone?
The context will always make it clear whether you are talking about the fruit or the tech company. Don't overthink it, just pay attention to the surrounding words.
Le savais-tu ?
In some ancient texts, '苹果' might refer to a different kind of fruit or be written with slightly different characters, but the modern usage is consistently for 'apple'.

Famille de mots
Noms
Comment l'utiliser
The word 苹果 (píngguǒ) is a common noun in Chinese, meaning apple. It's frequently used in daily conversations when talking about fruit, food, or making purchases.
Example 1: 我喜欢吃苹果。 (Wǒ xǐhuān chī píngguǒ.) - I like to eat apples.
Example 2: 这个苹果很甜。 (Zhège píngguǒ hěn tián.) - This apple is very sweet.
Example 3: 我们可以买一些苹果吗？ (Wǒmen kěyǐ mǎi yīxiē píngguǒ ma?) - Can we buy some apples?
A common mistake for English speakers learning Chinese is sometimes confusing 苹果 (píngguǒ) with words that sound similar or have related meanings.
For example, 梨 (lí) means pear, and 橙子 (chéngzi) means orange. While all are fruits, it's important to use 苹果 specifically for 'apple'.
Another mistake is sometimes omitting the measure word when it would be natural to include it in Chinese, although for a single item like 'an apple', 一个苹果 (yī ge píngguǒ) is common, simply 苹果 is also understood in many contexts. However, if you're talking about a quantity, always use a measure word, e.g., 三个苹果 (sān ge píngguǒ) - three apples.
Origine du mot
Simplified Chinese character for apple.
Sens originel : The character 苹 (píng) originally referred to a type of duckweed, and 果 (guǒ) means fruit. The combination, therefore, literally means 'duckweed fruit' or 'fruit resembling duckweed' (though it doesn't actually resemble duckweed). This is a phonetic-semantic compound.
Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic, MandarinContexte culturel
The apple is a very common fruit in China, much like in Western cultures. It's often associated with health and is a popular gift. While there aren't many deeply ingrained cultural idioms specifically about 'apple' like there are for some other fruits, its widespread availability and appeal make it a universally understood and appreciated item.

Yes, just like in English! You can specify the type of apple. For example, a Red Delicious might be called 红富士 (Hóng fùshì), or a green apple could be 青苹果 (qīng píngguǒ). But 苹果 (píngguǒ) is the general term.
The characters are 苹 (píng) and 果 (guǒ). You can look up the stroke order to practice writing them. 果 is a very common character meaning 'fruit' or 'result.'
Yes, you can! An iPhone is often referred to as an 苹果手机 (Píngguǒ shǒujī), literally 'Apple mobile phone,' or simply 苹果 (píngguǒ) in context. For example, 我有一个苹果 (Wǒ yǒu yī ge píngguǒ) could mean 'I have an Apple (phone)' if the context is clear.
You use the measure word 个 (gè). So, 一个苹果 (yī ge píngguǒ) means 'one apple,' 两个苹果 (liǎng ge píngguǒ) means 'two apples,' and so on. Remember to use 两 (liǎng) for two when counting, not 二 (èr).
Here's a simple one: 我喜欢吃苹果 (Wǒ xǐhuān chī píngguǒ). This means 'I like to eat apples.' It's a great sentence to practice with your new vocabulary!
