The Chinese word 艰难 (jīnnán) means "difficult" or "arduous". It is composed of two characters: 艰 (jiān), which means "difficult" or "hard", and 难 (nán), which means "difficult" or "troublesome". The combination of these two characters creates a word that emphasizes the extreme difficulty or hardship of a situation.The character 艰 (jiān) is composed of two parts: the radical 力 (lì), which means "strength" or "power", and the phonetic component 姦 (jiān), which has the same pronunciation as 艰 but a different meaning. The radical 力 suggests that 艰 is related to physical effort or exertion, while the phonetic component 姦 hints at the idea of difficulty or trouble.The character 难 (nán) is also composed of two parts: the radical 辵 (chù), which means "to walk" or "to go", and the phonetic component 男 (nán), which has the same pronunciation as 难 but a different meaning. The radical 辵 suggests that 难 is related to movement or progress, while the phonetic component 男 hints at the idea of difficulty or hardship.When these two characters are combined to form 艰难 (jīnnán), the meaning is intensified, creating a word that conveys a sense of extreme difficulty or arduousness. It is often used to describe situations that require great effort, perseverance, or struggle to overcome.
