Words
of the Wise
Well,
you have progressed to the words part of Chinese characters.
Words can be one character, two characters, three characters
and sometimes more. Usually, words are two characters together.
Now, you will see how characters form to make words.
High
+ Enthusiasm
=
Happy
The
character for high and the character for enthusiasm come
together to make "high enthusiasm" or happiness.
and
are both characters, but together they make a common word
in the Chinese language. Apart, they will not have the same
meaning.
2-character
words are the most common in the Chinese language. Soon,
I will show you three and four letter characters, demonstrating
how beautiful yet succinct Chinese can be.
