The Chinese word 读者 (dú zhě) for "reader" is composed of two characters: 读 (dú), meaning "to read," and 者 (zhě), a suffix indicating a person or agent. The character 读 is a pictograph depicting a person holding a book in their hands, while the character 者 is a phonetic component that adds the pronunciation "zhě" to the word. Together, the two characters form the compound word 读者, which literally means "a person who reads" or "a reader." This word is commonly used in Chinese to refer to people who engage in the act of reading, whether it be for pleasure, education, or research.
