The Chinese word "讲座" (jiǎngzuò) is composed of two characters: "讲" (jiǎng) and "座" (zuò). The character "讲" means "to speak" or "to lecture", while the character "座" means "a seat" or "a place to sit". When combined, the two characters form the word "讲座", which literally means "a place to speak" or "a place to give a lecture". In modern Chinese, "讲座" is used to refer to a lecture, a seminar, or a workshop. It is often used in academic or professional settings, where experts or professionals share their knowledge and expertise with an audience.
