The Chinese word 截至 (jìqiè) is composed of two characters: 截 (jié) and 至 (zhì). 截 means "to cut off" or "to intercept", while 至 means "to arrive at" or "to reach". Together, these two characters form the word 截至, which means "up to" or "as of".The word 截至 is often used in written Chinese to indicate a point in time or a deadline. For example, the sentence "截至目前，我们已经收到了100份申请" means "As of now, we have received 100 applications".The word 截至 can also be used in spoken Chinese to mean "so far" or "up to now". For example, the sentence "截至目前，我还没有收到他的回复" means "So far, I have not received his reply".The word 截至 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 both written and spoken Chinese.
