The Chinese word 晚点 (wǎndiǎn) is composed of two characters: 晚 (wǎn), meaning "late", and 点 (diǎn), meaning "point" or "dot". Together, they literally mean "late point" or "late dot". This compound word is used to express the concept of "a bit later" or "a little bit late". It can be used in various contexts, such as when referring to the time of an event or the arrival of a person or thing. For example, if someone says "我晚点到" (wǒ wǎndiǎn dào), it means "I'll be there a bit later". Additionally, 晚点 can also be used as a noun to refer to a specific time in the evening, such as "我们晚点再聊" (wǒmen wǎndiǎn zài liáo), which means "Let's talk later in the evening".
