In case to make sure that you familiar with the handwriting of this woman symbol 女, here is another animation I just create for your practice. This is a graceful pen writing style and you can do it yourself also.
Now, let’s create some Chinese words!
The first 2-character word is 女人, woman.
The symbol 女 here is an adjective, Female, with the noun 人 (human), that is,
女人(woman) ＝ 女 (female) + 人 (human)
(Please check the human symbol 人 in Lesson 06)
The next 2-character word is 女兒, daughter.
女兒(daughter) ＝ 女 (female) + 兒 (child)
(note: this is the traditional character 兒)
Here is the simplified character ㄦ,
女ㄦ(daughter) ＝ 女 (female) + ㄦ (child)
(兒 and ㄦ in Lesson 07)
The other 2-character word, 女友, girlfriend.
女友(girlfriend) ＝ 女 (female) + 友 (friend)
(友 in Lesson 10)
The 2-character word 男女, men and women, the general term.
男女(men and women) ＝ 男 (man) + 女 (female)
4-character slang 男男女女, all kind of men and women
(男 in Lesson 09)
