About
The Chinese word **尿床 (niàochuáng)**, meaning "to wet the bed," is a compound word formed through a straightforward semantic combination of its two constituent characters: **尿 (niào)**, which means "urine" or "to urinate," and **床 (chuáng)**, which means "bed." It follows a verb-object grammatical structure where the first character denotes the action and the second denotes the location or object of that action, thus creating a clear and literal meaning—the act of urinating on the bed. This formation is typical in Chinese, where two independent, meaningful morphemes are combined to express a specific concept.
