SHUAI

There are only about six characters that are pronounced 'shuai', and for many, it isn't even the main  pronunciation. Only two meanings are important.

 

shuai(1)

= to fall down, to tumble

The more common two-character expression is:

= shuai(1)dao(3) = to fall down

This is only used for people.

= dao(3) = to fall

Not to be confused with:

= dao(4) = to arrive

If things fall down, the proper word / expression is:

= diao(4) = to fall down

Or:

掉下去 = diao(4) xia(4) qu(4) = to fall down (of things)

 

shuai(2)

 

 

shuai(3)

 

 

shuai(4)

= handsome

A combination of the side knife character and the towel character.

This is the appropriate word for good looks in men.

Together with the noun that usually follows it, we get:

帅哥 = shuai(4) ge(1) = handsome older brother

is an endearing designation for an elder male acquaintance
