The Chinese word **收听** is a compound verb formed by combining two independent characters, each contributing its core meaning to create a new, specific concept. The first character, **收** (*shōu*), means "to receive" or "to collect," while the second, **听** (*tīng*), means "to listen" or "to hear." When combined in this order, they follow a logical verb-object structure where "收" (receive) acts upon the object "听" (listening), effectively meaning "to receive listening," which translates idiomatically as **"to listen to (a broadcast)."** This formation is typical of modern Chinese vocabulary, where two meaningful syllables are joined to precisely denote an action related to media or information intake, such as listening to the radio or a podcast.
