The character "开" (kāi) primarily means "to open" something physically, such as a door or a window. It can also mean "to start" or "to hold" an event, like a meeting or a class. Additionally, it is used to mean "to drive" a vehicle.
These collocations are very frequent in daily conversation and formal contexts.
Usage Notes
When using 开 to mean "open," it often takes a direct object (like 门 door, 窗 window). When referring to starting events or activities, it is often combined with nouns like 会 (meeting), 课 (class), or 店 (shop). For driving, 开 is followed by the vehicle type.
Avoid confusing 开 with 关 (guān), which means "to close." They are often paired as opposites in daily speech.
