The Chinese word 汽水 (qìshuǐ) for "soda" or "carbonated water" is composed of two characters: 汽 (qì) and 水 (shuǐ). The character 汽 (qì) means "gas" or "vapor", and the character 水 (shuǐ) means "water". Together, they form the compound word 汽水 (qìshuǐ), which literally means "gas water" or "carbonated water". This term accurately describes the nature of soda, which is water that has been infused with carbon dioxide gas to create bubbles and a fizzy taste. The word 汽水 (qìshuǐ) is commonly used in Chinese to refer to various types of carbonated beverages, including sodas, sparkling water, and other fizzy drinks.
