骑

• 拼音: qí
• 汉字拆解: 骑 = 马 (horse, semantic) + 奇 (odd/strange, phonetic component)

含义

To ride; to sit on and control a mount or vehicle. Specifically for straddling mounts like horses, bicycles, and motorcycles.

Used specifically for vehicles and animals that you straddle (sit on top of). Includes bicycles, motorcycles, horses, camels, and similar. NOT used for riding in cars, buses, or trains — those use 坐 (to sit). A very practical verb for everyday transportation.

例句

2. 小时候我学过骑马。
