Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 意思 (yìsi) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 意 (yì) and 思 (si). The character 意 originally meant "heart" or "mind", and it is often used to refer to thoughts, ideas, or intentions. The character 思 originally meant "to think" or "to consider", and it is often used to refer to the process of thinking or reasoning. Together, the two characters 意思 can be understood as "the meaning of something" or "the idea behind something". In modern Chinese, 意思 is commonly used as a noun to refer to the meaning of a word, phrase, or sentence. It can also be used as a verb to mean "to think" or "to consider".
