About

The Chinese word "诺言" (nuòyán), meaning "promise", is formed by combining the character "诺", which signifies assent or agreement, and "言", which denotes speech or words. Together, they create a compound where "诺" conveys the concept of pledging, and "言" specifies that this pledge is expressed verbally, thus directly constituting the term for a spoken commitment.
