The Chinese word 声音 (shēngyīn) for "sound" is composed of two characters: 声 (shēng) and 音 (yīn). The character 声 originally meant "sound of thunder" and was later extended to mean "sound" in general. It is composed of the radical 言 (yán), which indicates that it is related to speech or language, and the phonetic component 青 (qīng), which gives it its pronunciation. The character 音 originally meant "musical sound" and was later extended to mean "sound" in general. It is composed of the radical 口 (kǒu), which indicates that it is related to the mouth, and the phonetic component 尹 (yǐn), which gives it its pronunciation. Together, the two characters 声 and 音 form the word 声音, which means "sound".
