The Chinese word 女朋友 (nǚ péngyou) for "girlfriend" is composed of three characters: 女 (nǚ), meaning "woman" or "female"; 朋 (péng), meaning "friend" or "companion"; and 友 (yǒu), also meaning "friend" or "companion". Together, these characters form the compound word 女朋友, which literally means "female friend" or "woman friend". This term is commonly used in Chinese to refer to a romantic partner or significant other who is female. It is important to note that the term 女朋友 is specific to female partners, while the term 男朋友 (nán péngyou) is used for male partners.
