The Chinese word 友谊 (yǒuyì) for "friendship" is composed of two characters: 友 (yǒu), meaning "friend," and 谊 (yì), meaning "friendship," "goodwill," or "kindness." The character 友 is a pictograph depicting two people standing side by side, symbolizing companionship and mutual support. The character 谊 is a combination of the characters 言 (yán), meaning "speech" or "language," and 我 (wǒ), meaning "I" or "me." This combination suggests that friendship is built on communication and shared experiences. Together, the characters 友谊 convey the idea of a close and positive relationship between two or more people, characterized by mutual affection, trust, and support.
