成

The Chinese character 成 (chéng) is composed of two parts: the radical 戈 (gē), which means "spear" or "weapon," and the phonetic component 声 (shēng), which means "sound" or "voice." The character 成 originally meant "to make a sound" or "to produce a sound." Over time, its meaning expanded to include the ideas of "to accomplish," "to complete," "to succeed," and "to become."The character 成 is often used in combination with other characters to form compound words. For example, the word 成功 (chénggōng) means "success," while the word 成绩 (chéngjì) means "achievement." The character 成 can also be used as a verb, meaning "to become" or "to turn into." For example, the sentence 我成了老师 (wǒ chéngle lǎoshī) means "I became a teacher."The character 成 is a common character in Chinese, and it is used in a wide variety of contexts. It is an important character to learn for HSK learners, as it is used in many everyday words and phrases.
