The Chinese word 提起 (tī qǐ) is a verb that means "to lift up", "to raise", or "to mention". It is composed of two characters: 提 (tí), which means "to lift up" or "to raise", and 起 (qǐ), which means "to rise" or "to start". The word 提起 can be used in a variety of contexts, both literally and figuratively. For example, it can be used to describe the action of lifting up a physical object, such as a book or a chair. It can also be used to describe the action of raising someone's spirits or morale. In addition, 提起 can be used to mean "to mention" or "to bring up" a topic of conversation. For example, someone might say 提起这件事 (tī qǐ zhè jiàn shì) to mean "to bring up this matter".
