The Chinese word 专用 (zhuānyòng) is composed of two characters: 专 (zhuān) and 用 (yòng). The character 专 means "special" or "exclusive", while the character 用 means "to use". Together, the two characters mean "for special use" or "reserved for a specific purpose".The word 专用 is often used in Chinese to indicate that something is intended for a particular purpose or group of people. For example, a sign that says 专用停车场 (zhuānyòng tìngchěchǎng) means "reserved parking". Similarly, a sign that says 专用通道 (zhuānyòng tōngdào) means "private passage".The word 专用 can also be used to refer to something that is unique or special. For example, the phrase 专用技术 (zhuānyòng jìshù) means "proprietary technology". Similarly, the phrase 专用产品 (zhuānyòng chǎnpǐn) means "exclusive product".In HSK, the word 专用 is considered to be an intermediate-level word. It is important for HSK learners to understand the meaning and usage of this word in order to communicate effectively in Chinese.
