Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 正确 (zhèngquè) means "correct" or "accurate". It is composed of two characters: 正 (zhèng), which means "upright" or "straight", and 确 (què), which means "certain" or "sure". The word 正确 is often used to describe something that is in accordance with the facts or the truth. For example, we can say 正确的答案 (zhèngquè de dá'àn) to mean "the correct answer".The character 正 (zhèng) is also used in other words related to correctness, such as 正义 (zhèngyì), which means "justice", and 正直 (zhèngzhí), which means "upright" or "honest". The character 确 (què) is also used in other words related to certainty, such as 确实 (quèshí), which means "indeed" or "certainly", and 确定 (quèdìng), which means "to determine" or "to decide".The word 正确 is a commonly used word in Chinese, and it is important for HSK learners to understand its meaning and usage.
