The Chinese word "递给" is a verb phrase that means "to hand over" or "to pass something to someone". It is composed of two characters: "递", which means "to hand over" or "to pass", and "给", which means "to give" or "for". The character "递" is a pictograph that depicts a hand holding an object. The character "给" is a compound ideograph that combines the characters "口" (mouth) and "貝" (cowry shell). The character "口" represents the idea of speaking or giving, while the character "貝" represents the idea of value or exchange. Together, the two characters "递给" form a verb phrase that means "to hand over" or "to pass something to someone".
