儿/兒 ér — enfant ; fils (dans 儿子) ; le suffixe rétroflexe -r écrit après un nom

Pinyin

• ér (second tone, rising)

enfant ; fils (dans 儿子) ; le suffixe rétroflexe -r écrit après un nom

Décomposition du caractère

• 儿shape partLes jambes d’une personne. Le 兒 traditionnel pose 臼 au-dessus — la fontanelle d’un nourrisson, le crâne encore ouvert — et la simplification n’a gardé que les jambes.

Mnemonic

Deux traits, qui sont la moitié inférieure du 兒 traditionnel : un petit enfant vu d’en bas, avec 臼 au-dessus pour la fontanelle. Deux emplois bien distincts aujourd’hui. Comme nom, c’est un fils — 儿子, et 女儿 une fille. Comme suffixe, ce n’est pas une syllabe mais un enroulement de la langue à la fin du mot précédent : 一点儿, 玩儿, 这儿 — la sonorité du parler de Pékin.
