Etymology & Components

The Chinese word 运作 (yùnzuò) is composed of two characters: 运 (yùn), meaning "to transport" or "to operate," and 作 (zuò), meaning "to do" or "to make." Together, these characters form the compound word 运作, which can be translated as "to operate" or "to function."The word 运作 is often used in a business or economic context to refer to the process of running a company or organization. It can also be used more broadly to refer to the way in which something works or functions. For example, we can talk about the 运作 of a machine or the 运作 of a government.The word 运作 is a versatile term that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word for HSK learners to know, as it is commonly used in both spoken and written Chinese.
