The Chinese character 弯曲 (wān qū) is composed of two parts: 弯 (wān) and 曲 (qū). The character 弯 originally meant "to bend" or "to curve", and it is often used to describe the shape of something that is not straight. The character 曲 originally meant "to twist" or "to turn", and it is often used to describe the movement of something that is not in a straight line. When these two characters are combined, they create the word 弯曲, which means "to bend" or "to curve". This word can be used to describe the shape of something that is not straight, or the movement of something that is not in a straight line. For example, the sentence "这条路很弯曲" (zhè tiáo lù hěn wān qū) means "This road is very winding".
