The Chinese word for "tape recorder" is 录音机 (lùyìngjī). It is composed of three characters: 录 (lù), 音 (yīn), and 机 (jī).The character 录 (lù) means "to record" or "to write down". It is composed of two parts: the radical 聿 (yù), which means "a writing brush", and the phonetic component 录 (lù), which is pronounced similarly to the character 录 (lù).The character 音 (yīn) means "sound" or "music". It is composed of two parts: the radical 口 (kǒu), which means "mouth", and the phonetic component 音 (yīn), which is pronounced similarly to the character 音 (yīn).The character 机 (jī) means "machine" or "device". It is composed of two parts: the radical 木 (mù), which means "wood", and the phonetic component 机 (jī), which is pronounced similarly to the character 机 (jī).When these three characters are combined, they form the word 录音机 (lùyìngjī), which means "tape recorder". This word is used to refer to a device that can record and play back sound.
