(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-01-09)

This is part of [this set](https://chinese.stackexchange.com/questions/22196/yahtzee-score-card-what-is-the-term-for-a-full-house), where I also posted my update.

My wife, who is a native Chinese speaker, gave me the following:

```
sm.straight is 小顺
lg.straight is 大顺

```

but when I look up [小顺](https://translate.google.com/#zh-CN/en/%E5%B0%8F%E9%A1%BA) or [顺](https://translate.google.com/#zh-CN/en/%E9%A1%BA) by itself, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with (noun) sequence. What am I missing here?

It shows me words like *obedience*, *happiness*, and *submissiveness*, with translations that may use 顺 alone or with a longer string of characters.

This dictionary doesn’t show a noun *sequence* or anything like that.
