Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 痛快 (tòngkuài) is composed of two characters: 痛 (tòng), meaning "pain" or "ache", and 快 (kuài), meaning "quick" or "fast". Together, these characters form a compound word that literally means "painful quickness" or "quick relief from pain". In a figurative sense, 痛快 can be used to describe a feeling of great satisfaction, relief, or pleasure, often after overcoming a difficult situation or achieving a desired goal. It can also be used to express a sense of暢快淋漓 (chàngkuàilínlí), which is a feeling of unrestrained joy or exhilaration. In everyday usage, 痛快 is often used as an exclamation to express one's feelings of joy, satisfaction, or relief. For example, someone who has just finished a delicious meal might exclaim 痛快! to express their enjoyment.
