The Chinese word 歌声 (gēshēng) is composed of two characters: 歌 (gē) and 声 (shēng). The character 歌 originally meant "to sing" or "a song", and it is composed of the radical 言 (yán), which indicates that it is related to language or speech, and the phonetic component 可 (kě). The character 声 means "sound" or "voice", and it is composed of the radical 耳 (ěr), which indicates that it is related to hearing, and the phonetic component 生 (shēng).When combined, the characters 歌 and 声 form the word 歌声, which literally means "song sound" or "singing voice". It is used to refer to the sound of singing, or to the singing voice of a person or group. For example, we can say 他唱歌的声音很好听 (tā chànggē de shēngyīn hěn hǎotīng), which means "His singing voice is very beautiful".
