Definition
果儿 is a colloquial, northern Chinese (especially Beijing dialect) term for 'small fruit' or 'fruit in general'. The 儿 suffix (érhuà) adds a casual, affectionate tone — it's not formal written Chinese. You'll hear it in everyday conversation, not in textbooks or official documents. It can refer to any small fruit like berries or grapes, or just be a friendly way to say 'fruit'.
n.
