属于

The Chinese word 属于 (shǔyú) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 属 (shǔ) and 于 (yú). The character 属 originally meant "to belong to" or "to be related to", and was often used in the context of family relationships or social groups. The character 于 originally meant "to" or "towards", and was often used as a preposition. Over time, the two characters came to be combined to form the word 属于, which took on the meaning of "to belong to" or "to be a part of".The word 属于 is commonly used in modern Chinese to express the idea of belonging or ownership. For example, the sentence "这本书属于我" (zhè běn shū shǔyú wǒ) means "This book belongs to me". It can also be used to express the idea of being a part of a group or category. For example, the sentence "他属于工人阶级" (tā shǔyú gōngrén jiējí) means "He belongs to the working class".The word 属于 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word for HSK learners to know, as it is commonly used in everyday speech and writing.
