The Chinese word 抵达 (dǎodí) means "to arrive" or "to reach". It is composed of two characters: 到 (dào), which means "to arrive" or "to reach", and 底 (dǐ), which means "bottom" or "base". The character 底 is also used in the word 底部 (dǐbù), which means "bottom" or "base". The character 到 is also used in the word 到达 (dàodá), which means "to arrive" or "to reach". The word 抵达 is often used in formal writing and is considered to be a more literary way of saying "to arrive" or "to reach".
