The Chinese word 等级 (děngjí) is composed of two characters: 等 (děng) and 级 (jí). 等 means "equal" or "the same", while 级 means "level" or "rank". Together, they form the word 等级, which means "level" or "grade".The word 等级 has been used in Chinese for centuries. It is first recorded in the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD), when it was used to refer to the different ranks of officials in the government. Over time, the word 等级 has come to be used in a wider variety of contexts, and it is now used to refer to any kind of level or grade, such as the level of education someone has achieved or the level of difficulty of a task.The word 等级 is a common word in Chinese, and it is used in both spoken and written language. It is an important word to know for HSK learners, as it is used in a variety of everyday situations.
