About
说 means "to speak", "to say", or "to talk", generally referring to verbal communication. It is a phono-semantic compound: the left side is the "speech" radical (讠/言), which indicates the semantic category of language, while the right side, 兑/兌 (duì), provides the pronunciation. Beyond general speech, the character can also mean to explain, scold, or act as a matchmaker depending on context. It often takes a clause as its object to introduce direct speech or express an opinion.
