The Chinese word 应该 (yīnggāi) is a modal verb that expresses obligation, necessity, or appropriateness. It is composed of two characters: 应 (yīng), which means "should" or "ought to," and 该 (gāi), which means "to be supposed to" or "to be proper." The character 应 is derived from the oracle bone script, which depicts a person kneeling with their hands raised in supplication. The character 该 is derived from the seal script, which depicts a person holding a bamboo slip, which was used for writing in ancient China. The combination of these two characters creates the word 应该, which expresses the idea of something that is both expected and appropriate.
