How to tell when its a compound word.
When reading a Chinese sentence there are no spaces in between words. Since some words have two characters(compound words) how do you know to read that as a compound word and not a single character?
Example
这是我朋友
You would read this as
这 是 我 朋友
How would you know to read 朋友 as a compound instead of 朋 友
