The Chinese word 合唱团 (hé chàng tuán) for "choir" is a logical compound formed by combining three meaningful characters: 合 (hé) meaning "together" or "to combine", 唱 (chàng) meaning "to sing", and 团 (tuán) meaning "group" or "organization". Therefore, it constructs the concept sequentially as a "together-sing-group", which directly and efficiently denotes an organized group of people who sing in unison. This formation is typical in Mandarin, where modifying characters are placed before the core noun to create precise, descriptive compound words.
