Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 由此 (yóucǐ) is composed of two characters: 由 (yóu) and 此 (cǐ). 由 means "from" or "by way of," while 此 means "this" or "here." Together, they literally mean "from this" or "by this means."由此 is often used to introduce a conclusion or a result based on the preceding context. It can also be used to indicate a starting point or a point of reference. For example:- 由此可见,学习汉语很有必要。(yóucǐ kějiàn, xuéxí hànyǔ hěn yǒubìyào) - From this, we can see that learning Chinese is very important.- 由此出发,我们可以探索宇宙的奥秘。(yóucǐ chūfā, wǒmen kěyǐ tànsuǒ yǔzhòu de àomì) - Starting from this point, we can explore the mysteries of the universe.由此 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word for HSK learners to master, as it is frequently used in both written and spoken Chinese.
