The Chinese word 此事 (cǐshì) is composed of two characters: 此 (cǐ) and 事 (shì). 此 means "this" or "the present," while 事 means "matter," "affair," or "event." Together, 此事 means "this matter" or "this affair."The character 此 is composed of two parts: the radical 辵 (chù), which means "to walk" or "to go," and the phonetic component 此 (cǐ). The radical 辵 indicates that 此 is related to movement or action, while the phonetic component 此 provides the pronunciation.The character 事 is composed of two parts: the radical 宀 (mián), which means "roof" or "house," and the phonetic component 巳 (sì). The radical 宀 indicates that 事 is related to buildings or shelter, while the phonetic component 巳 provides the pronunciation.The combination of 此 and 事 to form 此事 creates a word that refers to a specific matter or affair that is happening in the present moment. It is often used to refer to something that is currently under discussion or being dealt with.
