The Chinese word 总算 (zǒngsuàn) is composed of two characters: 总 (zǒng) and 算 (suàn). The character 总 means "all," "in all," or "finally," while the character 算 means "to calculate," "to count," or "to consider." Together, the two characters 总算 mean "to finally calculate" or "to finally consider." This word is often used to express relief or satisfaction after something has been achieved or accomplished, or to indicate that something has finally been taken into account or considered. For example, a student might say 总算考完了 (zǒngsuàn kǎowánle) after finishing a difficult exam, or a parent might say 总算把孩子哄睡着了 (zǒngsuàn bǎ háizi hòngshuìzháo le) after finally getting their child to sleep.
