The Chinese word 半决赛 (bànjìn sài) for "semi-final" is composed of three characters: 半 (bàn), 决赛 (jìn sài). 半 means "half", 决赛 means "final match". So 半决赛 literally means "half of the final match". This term is used in sports to refer to the match that takes place before the final match, in which the two winning teams from the previous round compete to determine who will advance to the final match.
