Étymologie et composants

The Chinese word "坏人" (huàirén) is composed of two characters: "坏" (huài) and "人" (rén). The character "坏" originally meant "to break" or "to damage". In modern Chinese, it is used to describe something that is bad, evil, or harmful. The character "人" simply means "person". So, the word "坏人" literally means "a bad person".The word "坏人" can be used to describe someone who is morally corrupt, wicked, or criminal. It can also be used to describe someone who is simply annoying or unpleasant. For example, you could say "他是一个坏人" (tā shì yīgè huàirén) to describe someone who is a criminal, or you could say "他是一个坏人" (tā shì yīgè huàirén) to describe someone who is always complaining.The word "坏人" is a very common word in Chinese. It is used in both formal and informal settings. It is also used in a variety of literary genres, including novels, plays, and poems.
