About

The Chinese word **胜诉** (shèngsù), meaning "to win a lawsuit," is a verb-object compound formed by combining the character **胜** (shèng), which means "to win" or "victory," with the character **诉** (sù), which means "to sue" or "litigation." In this structure, **胜** acts as the verb describing the action (winning), and **诉** functions as the object or the domain in which the action occurs (the lawsuit). Together, they create a precise legal term where the relationship is logically sequential—the act of winning is directly applied to the legal proceeding, resulting in the specific meaning of achieving a favorable verdict in court.
