About

The word "普通人" is formed by combining three characters: 普, meaning "general" or "universal"; 通, meaning "through" or "common"; and 人, meaning "person". Together, 普通 functions as an adjective meaning "ordinary" or "common", which directly modifies 人 to specify a "common person" or "ordinary individual". This construction results in a compound word where the adjective-noun relationship clearly defines the term.
