The Chinese word 块 generally means “piece” or “chunk” and is often used to refer to a unit of currency, specifically the Chinese yuan. For example, you might say “这个苹果十块钱”, which means “this apple costs ten yuan.” However, 块 can also be used more broadly to refer to any kind of piece or chunk of something, such as “一块蛋糕”, which means “a piece of cake.”
