The Chinese character 转 (zhuǎn) means "to turn" or "to move." It is composed of two parts: the radical 辶 (chuò), which indicates movement, and the phonetic component 耑 (duān), which has the same pronunciation as 转. The character 移 (yí) means "to move" or "to transfer." It is composed of the radical 彳 (chì), which indicates walking, and the phonetic component 夷 (yí), which has the same pronunciation as 移. The word 转移 (zhuǎnyí) is a combination of these two characters, and it means "to transfer" or "to move." It is often used in the context of moving goods or people from one place to another. For example, the sentence "我把东西转移到新房子里了" means "I moved my things to the new house."
