钩

• 拼音: gōu
• 汉字拆解: 钅= 金 (metal radical); 勾 = 厶 + 勹 (curved hook shape) — a metal hook

含义

To hook; to catch with a hook; to snag. To fasten, pull, or catch using a hook or hook-like motion.

Used for physically hooking or snagging objects (e.g., a fishing hook catching a fish, a garment snagging on a nail). Also used figuratively for 'hooking' someone's attention or interest (钩住了他的注意力). Distinct from 勾 in that 钩 more often refers to a hook as a physical tool or the specific hooking action, while 勾 is more broadly figurative.
