The Chinese word 其次 (qícì) is composed of two characters: 其 (qí) and 次 (cì). 其 is a possessive pronoun meaning "his, her, its, or their". 次 means "time, occasion, or order". Together, 其次 literally means "his/her/its/their next time" or "his/her/its/their second time". In modern Chinese, 其次 is used as an adverb meaning "secondly" or "next". It is often used in lists or sequences to indicate the second item or point. For example, in the sentence "首先，我们要学习汉语。其次，我们要学习中国文化。" (First, we need to learn Chinese. Secondly, we need to learn Chinese culture.), 其次 is used to introduce the second point in the list.
