About
The word 毯子 is formed by combining the meaningful character 毯 (tǎn), which carries the core idea of a "carpet" or "blanket", with the character 子 (zi), which here functions not as an independent word but as a common, sound-based suffix added to nouns. This suffix often signifies a tangible object and creates a more complete, commonly spoken bisyllabic word, smoothing the rhythm of speech compared to using the single character 毯 alone.
