Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word 常用 (chángyòng) is composed of two characters: 常 (cháng) and 用 (yòng). The character 常 originally meant "regular" or "constant," and it is often used to describe things that happen frequently or are always present. The character 用 originally meant "to use" or "to employ," and it is often used to describe the act of using something. When these two characters are combined, they form the word 常用, which means "commonly used" or "frequently used." This word is often used to describe words, phrases, or expressions that are commonly used in everyday speech or writing. For example, the phrase 我很高兴 (wǒ hěn gāoxìng) means "I am very happy," and it is a commonly used phrase in Chinese. Therefore, we can say that 我很高兴 is a 常用 phrase.
