About
The word "嘴里" is formed by combining the character for "mouth" (嘴) with the character for "inside" (里). This is a direct, spatial construction where the second character specifies a locative relationship to the first, creating a single unit that conceptually means "the interior space of the mouth". It is a straightforward fusion of a concrete object and an orientation to denote a specific, contained area.
