The Chinese word 打听 (dǎting) is a compound word consisting of two characters: 打 (dǎ) and 听 (tīng). The character 打 has several meanings, including "to hit", "to strike", and "to ask". The character 听 means "to listen" or "to hear". When combined, the two characters 打听 literally mean "to ask by listening" or "to inquire by listening". This compound word is often used in the sense of "to inquire about" or "to find out about something". For example, you could use 打听 to ask someone about the location of a restaurant or to find out about the price of a product.
