Etymology & Components

**尽可能 (kěnéng jǐkěnéng)**The Chinese word 尽可能 is a compound of two characters: 可能 (kěnéng) and 尽可能 (jǐkěnéng). The first character, 可能, means "possible" or "likely". The second character, 尽可能, is a modal particle that indicates the speaker's intention to do something to the best of their ability. Together, the two characters mean "as much as possible" or "to the best of one's ability".The word 尽可能 is often used in requests or suggestions. For example, a person might say 尽可能快地来 (kěnéng jǐkuài de lái), which means "come as soon as possible". It can also be used to express a person's determination to do something. For example, a person might say 我会尽可能地帮助你 (wǒ huì kěnéng jǐkěnéng de bāngzhù nǐ), which means "I will help you as much as I can".The word 尽可能 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of situations. It is an important word for HSK learners to know, as it is used frequently in everyday conversation.
