Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 提出 (chūtí) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 提 (tí) and 出 (chū). The character 提 (tí) means "to lift up" or "to raise," while the character 出 (chū) means "to go out" or "to come out." Together, these two characters form the word 提出 (chūtí), which literally means "to lift up and out" or "to bring forth." In the context of language, 提出 (chūtí) is used to mean "to put forward" or "to propose" an idea, a suggestion, or a question. It is a common verb used in both spoken and written Chinese.
