The Chinese word **甜品** (tiánpǐn), meaning "dessert" or "sweet food," is a compound noun formed by combining two meaningful characters: **甜** (tián), which means "sweet" in taste, and **品** (pǐn), which in this context means "item," "product," or "article." Together, they create a straightforward descriptive term where "甜" modifies "品," literally translating to "sweet item"—a perfectly logical and semantic construction for a category of food.
