The Chinese word 当作 (dāngzuò) is a versatile verb-object compound that can be translated as "to regard as", "to treat as", or "to consider as". It is composed of two characters: 当 (dāng), which means "to be in charge of", "to be responsible for", or "to be suitable for", and 作 (zuò), which means "to do", "to make", or "to act". When combined, these two characters create a new meaning that is more specific than either of the individual characters.当作 is often used to express the speaker's opinion or attitude towards something. For example, the sentence 他把她当作朋友 (tā bǎ tā dāngzuò péngyou) means "He regards her as a friend". In this sentence, the speaker is expressing their belief that the man considers the woman to be a friend.当作 can also be used to give instructions or make requests. For example, the sentence 你应该把他当作你的老师 (nǐ yīnggāi bǎ tā dāngzuò nǐ de lǎoshī) means "You should treat him as your teacher". In this sentence, the speaker is telling the listener to show respect to the man and to listen to his advice.当作 is a common word in Chinese and it is used in a variety of contexts. By understanding the etymology of this word, HSK learners can gain a deeper understanding of its meaning and how it is used in different situations.
