The Chinese word 去掉 (qùdiào) is a verb that means "to remove" or "to get rid of". It is composed of two characters: 去 (qù), which means "to go" or "to leave", and 掉 (diào), which means "to fall" or "to drop". The combination of these two characters suggests the idea of something being taken away or removed.去掉 is a commonly used word in Chinese, and it can be used in a variety of contexts. For example, you could say 去掉衣服 (qùdiào yīfu) to mean "to take off your clothes", or 去掉垃圾 (qùdiào lājī) to mean "to throw away the trash".The word 去掉 can also be used in a more figurative sense. For example, you could say 去掉烦恼 (qùdiào fánnǎo) to mean "to get rid of your worries", or 去掉坏习惯 (qùdiào huài xíguàn) to mean "to break a bad habit".去掉 is a versatile word that can be used in many different ways. It is an important word to know for HSK learners, as it is used frequently in everyday Chinese conversation.
