Try to learn characters in relation to each other and in related sequences.
A policeman is wearing an armband inscribed with the character 刑=OPEN+SWORD
Let’s find out what that means!
kai开 and abbreviated dao刂knife is probably the determinant and if it’s a pictophonetic character than kai开 is probably a pronunciation clue. If it’s pictophonetic it sounds something like kai or dao.
刑 sounds like xing4 so it’s not a pictophonetic character, it has no sound clue. 刑 is not a pictogram (picture) or ideogram (symbol)
So, apparently, 刑 is a combined concept character!(=会意字).
刑xing2＝open+sword=punishment.
型xing this xing型 in contrast is pictophonetic. It’s sound key is up top. This xing型 means standard norm rule pattern model
Who sets the example? Police! Who enforces the standards! Police!
The 土 below 型 indicates dirt as in base foundation. So 型 means a fundamental basic standard which, if you fail to meet you risk punishment! 刑
你的行为不到了我们的刑法所以你不会刑了．
Best chinglish for that seems to be:
Your behavior, our criminal law, does not reach, thus you will not be punished.
Baidu reverse translates my bad chinglish into:
你的行为不符合我们的刑法，所以你不会被判刑
(your behavior does not fit into our criminal law, so you will not be judged and punished.)
google, in contrast reverse translates my bad chinglish into
你的行为不属于我们的刑法，所以你不会被判刑。
Your behavior is not found at our criminal law, so you will not be judged and punished.
Any Chinese native speaker is kindly invited to comment and correct. It’s a matter of GOOD laws. 🙂
