Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 交换 (jiāohuàn) is composed of two characters: 交 (jiāo) and 换 (huàn). The character 交 originally meant "to meet" or "to intersect", and later extended to mean "to communicate" or "to exchange". The character 换 originally meant "to change" or "to replace", and later extended to mean "to exchange". Thus, the word 交换 literally means "to exchange" or "to trade".The word 交换 has been used in Chinese for centuries, and has a rich history. It is often used in a commercial context, to refer to the exchange of goods or services. However, it can also be used in a more general sense, to refer to the exchange of ideas or information.The word 交换 is a versatile and important word in Chinese, and is essential for HSK learners to master.
