About

The word "听见" is formed by combining two individual characters: "听", which means to listen or to hear, and "见", which means to see or to perceive. In this combination, "听" represents the action of auditory attention, while "见" adds the dimension of achieving perceptual awareness, effectively conveying the idea of sound reaching one's consciousness. Thus, the fusion creates a cohesive unit that encapsulates the process of listening resulting in successful hearing, emphasizing the outcome of auditory perception rather than just the act itself.
