早就

The Chinese word 早就 (zǎojiù) is composed of two characters: 早 (zǎo), meaning "early" or "long ago", and 就 (jiù), meaning "already" or "just now". Together, these characters form a compound word that means "long ago" or "a long time ago".The word 早就 is often used to express the idea that something happened in the past and has been going on for a long time. For example, the sentence 早就知道了 (zǎojiù zhīdàole) means "I knew it a long time ago".The word 早就 can also be used to express the idea that something is about to happen. For example, the sentence 早就要走了 (zǎojiù yào zǒule) means "I'm about to leave".In addition to its literal meaning, the word 早就 can also be used figuratively to express the idea of "finally" or "at last". For example, the sentence 早就盼到了 (zǎojiù pàn dàole) means "I've been looking forward to this for a long time".The word 早就 is a versatile word 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.
