The Chinese word 划船 (huá chuán) for "rowing a boat" is composed of two characters: 划 (huá) and 船 (chuán). The character 划 (huá) means "to row" or "to paddle", and it is composed of the radical 手 (shǒu), which means "hand", and the phonetic component 化 (huà). The character 船 (chuán) means "boat" or "ship", and it is composed of the radical 木 (mù), which means "wood", and the phonetic component 川 (chuān). Together, the two characters 划船 (huá chuán) form a compound word that means "to row a boat".
