The Chinese character 抬 (tái) is composed of two parts: 手 (shǒu), meaning "hand", and 台 (tái), meaning "platform" or "stage". The original meaning of 抬 was "to lift up with both hands", which is still one of its most common meanings today. However, 抬 can also be used in a more figurative sense, to mean "to promote" or "to elevate". For example, the phrase 抬高 (tái gāo) means "to raise up" or "to increase", while the phrase 抬举 (tái jǔ) means "to promote" or "to give someone a helping hand".The character 抬 is also used in a number of other words and phrases, such as:* 抬轿 (tái jiào): to carry a sedan chair* 抬杠 (tái gàng): to argue or debate* 抬桌子 (tái zhuō zi): to set up a table* 抬腿 (tái tuǐ): to raise one's legThe character 抬 is a versatile character with a rich history and a variety of meanings. It is an important character to learn for any HSK learner who wants to be able to read and write Chinese fluently.
