About
The word "花朵" is a compound noun formed by combining the morpheme "花" (huā), which means "flower" or "blossom", with the morpheme "朵" (duǒ), which primarily functions as a measure word for flowers, clouds, or other small, rounded objects. In this construction, "朵" shifts from its usual grammatical role to a substantive one, acting as a nominal suffix that specifies and concretizes the concept. Together, they create a single lexical unit meaning "flower" or "blossom", where "朵" subtly emphasizes the individual, countable bloom, thereby making the term more vivid and specific than the more general "花" alone.
