How it's used

Specific to Mahjong, this term refers to a scoring hand that requires a combination of three sets of winds and a pair of the fourth wind. It is considered a high value hand and is distinct from 大四喜, which requires all four winds to be in sets. Players often aim for this when they find themselves holding multiple wind tiles early in the game.

Examples

Common phrases

sik6食siu2小sei3四hei2喜

to win with Little Wind Hand

Common mistake

Beginners often confuse this with 大四喜, where all four winds must be sets. In 小四喜, one of the four winds must serve as the pair, which is a crucial distinction for scoring.
