The Chinese word 凉鞋 (liángxié) for "sandals" is a compound of two characters: 凉 (liáng), meaning "cool," and 鞋 (xié), meaning "shoe." The word 凉鞋 is therefore literally translated as "cool shoes," which refers to the fact that sandals are typically worn in warm weather to keep the feet cool.The character 凉 (liáng) is composed of two parts: the radical 水 (shuǐ), meaning "water," and the phonetic component 良 (liáng), which has the same pronunciation as 凉. The radical 水 indicates that 凉 is related to water, and the phonetic component 良 provides the pronunciation.The character 鞋 (xié) is composed of two parts: the radical 革 (gé), meaning "leather," and the phonetic component 奚 (xī), which has the same pronunciation as 鞋. The radical 革 indicates that 鞋 is related to leather, and the phonetic component 奚 provides the pronunciation.The combination of the characters 凉 and 鞋 forms the word 凉鞋 (liángxié), which literally means "cool shoes" and refers to the type of footwear worn in warm weather to keep the feet cool.
