The Chinese word 预期 (yùqī) is composed of two characters: 预 (yù) and 期 (qī). The character 预 originally meant "to prepare" or "to expect", and it is often used in the sense of "to anticipate" or "to predict". The character 期 originally meant "a period of time" or "a deadline", and it is often used in the sense of "to expect" or "to hope for". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 预期, which means "to expect" or "to anticipate".The word 预期 can be used in a variety of contexts. For example, it can be used to talk about the weather forecast (天气预报), the economic outlook (经济预期), or the results of a sports game (比赛预期). It can also be used to talk about personal expectations or goals (个人预期).The word 预期 is a common word in Chinese, and it is important for HSK learners to understand its meaning and usage.
