About

The word "别人" is formed by directly combining the character 别, which conveys the meaning of "other" or "another", with the character 人, meaning "person". This creates a compound where 别 modifies 人 to specify the concept of "other people" or "others", explicitly referring to persons separate from oneself or the immediate reference point.
