她

• 拼音: tā
• 汉字拆解: 她 = 女 (woman radical) + 也 (also, phonetic component)

含义

She; her. The third-person feminine pronoun.

Created in the early 20th century to distinguish feminine reference in writing. In spoken Chinese, 她 and 他 are pronounced identically (both tā). The distinction only matters in written text. Uses the 女 (woman) radical instead of 亻(person).

例句

1. 她是我姐姐。
2. 她很漂亮。
3. 我昨天见到她了。

起源与历史

A modern creation from the 1910s-1920s, modelled on the masculine 他 but replacing the person radical with 女 (woman) to mirror the he/she distinction in European languages.
