The Chinese word 亲爱 (qīn ài) is composed of two characters: 亲 (qīn) and 爱 (ài). The character 亲 originally meant "relatives" or "family members", and later extended to mean "close" or "intimate". The character 爱 originally meant "to love" or "to be fond of", and later extended to mean "to cherish" or "to treasure". When combined, the two characters 亲爱 form a compound word that means "to love dearly" or "to cherish deeply". This word is often used to express affection for someone close, such as a family member, a friend, or a romantic partner. It can also be used to express gratitude or appreciation for someone who has done something kind or helpful.
