The Chinese word 忘记 (wàngjì) for "to forget" is composed of two characters: 忘 (wàng) and 记 (jì). The character 忘 originally meant "to lose" or "to be lost," and it is often used in the sense of "to forget" or "to be forgotten." The character 记 originally meant "to record" or "to remember," and it is often used in the sense of "to remember" or "to keep in mind." When these two characters are combined, they create the word 忘记, which means "to forget." This word is commonly used in everyday speech and writing, and it is an important word to know for HSK learners.
