The Chinese word 勇敢 (yǒnggǎn) means "brave" or "courageous". It is composed of two characters: 勇 (yǒng), which means "brave", and 敢 (gǎn), which means "to dare". The character 勇 is composed of two parts: 力 (lì), which means "strength", and 心 (xīn), which means "heart". This suggests that bravery is a combination of physical strength and mental determination. The character 敢 is composed of two parts: 言 (yán), which means "to speak", and 心 (xīn), which means "heart". This suggests that daring to do something requires both the courage to speak up and the determination to act. Thus, the word 勇敢 (yǒnggǎn) captures the essence of bravery as a combination of physical strength, mental determination, and the willingness to speak up and act.
