The Chinese word 否定 (fǒudìng) is composed of two characters: 否 (fǒu) and 定 (dìng). The character 否 originally meant "not" or "no", and was often used in ancient Chinese texts to express negation. The character 定 originally meant "to decide" or "to determine", and was often used to express certainty or affirmation. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 否定, which means "to negate" or "to deny". This word can be used in a variety of contexts, such as to express disagreement, to reject a proposal, or to deny an accusation.
