Meaning and Usage
The canonical token “check” maps to the Chinese unit “检查” in the approved Year 1 Daily Basics and Core Review context. This page treats the token as an action that normally connects a subject with a clear target. The mapping is deliberately narrower than a general bilingual dictionary entry: it records the Chinese semantic unit that a learner can trace through a Chinglish sentence, then compares that trace with natural English. Use the token when the source Chinese expresses this approved sense directly. Keep the base token stable even when natural English would add an article, change word order, mark number, or inflect a verb. Those English grammar changes belong to the Natural English comparison layer and do not alter the canonical mapping. The Week 1 editorial context supplies the page’s examples and relations, but it does not create a universal translation rule. A different Chinese sense, a figurative use, a specialist meaning, or a context requiring another English word must be reviewed as a separate mapping rather than forced into this profile. Generator use remains disabled until a later Pattern review proves that the surrounding roles and semantic constraints are sufficiently precise.
Mapping Boundary
Correct Use: Use check when the source unit is 检查 in the approved context.
Incorrect Use: Do not use check as a universal replacement for every related Chinese or English sense.
Reason: The canonical mapping is contextual and must preserve the reviewed Chinese semantic unit.
