About
The word 小孩 is formed by directly combining two characters: 小 (xiǎo), meaning "small" or "little", and 孩 (hái), meaning "child". It is a straightforward, logical compound where the first character descriptively modifies the second, creating the composite concept of a "small child" or "kid". This visual and conceptual merging is a fundamental method of word creation in Chinese, building meaning through the assembly of semantic units.
