The Chinese word 猜 means “to guess” or “to speculate”. It is commonly used in daily conversation when someone is trying to make an educated guess about something. For example, if someone asks you to guess how old they are, you could respond with “我猜你大概是三十岁”, which means “I guess you’re probably around 30 years old”. The word 猜 can also be used in the context of guessing games or riddles.
