The Chinese word 决定 (juéding) is composed of two characters: 决 (jué) and 定 (dìng). The character 决 (jué) means "to decide" or "to resolve", and it is often used in the context of making a decision or coming to a conclusion. The character 定 (dìng) means "to fix" or "to determine", and it is often used in the context of setting something in place or making it permanent. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 决定 (juéding), which means "to decide" or "to make a decision". The word 决定 can be used in a variety of contexts, such as making a decision about what to do, deciding on a course of action, or coming to a conclusion about something.
