    Explanation

    款 (kuǎn) is a classifier (measure word) used for items that come in different styles, models, or designs, such as clothing, software, or products. When you want to specify a particular style or model of something, place 款 between a demonstrative or number and the noun. It emphasizes the design or type rather than the quantity.
