告诉

นิรุกติศาสตร์และส่วนประกอบ

The Chinese word 告诉 (gàosù) is composed of two characters: 告 (gào) and 诉 (sù). The character 告 originally meant "to announce" or "to inform", and was often used in formal or official contexts. The character 诉, on the other hand, originally meant "to complain" or "to express one's grievances", and was often used in a more personal or informal context. Over time, the two characters came to be used together to form the word 告诉, which took on the meaning of "to tell" or "to inform someone about something". The word 告诉 is commonly used in both spoken and written Chinese, and can be used in a variety of contexts, from informal conversations to formal announcements.
