About

The word "格林" is formed through phonetic translation, where the characters "格" (gé) and "林" (lín) are selected solely for their combined pronunciation, which approximates the sound of foreign words such as "Green" in English or "Grimm" in German, without conveying the literal meanings of the individual characters.
