About

The Chinese word "建议" is formed by combining two characters: "建", meaning to establish or construct, and "议", meaning to discuss or deliberate. "建" is structurally composed of the radical "廴", suggesting movement or extension, and elements implying setting up, while "议" combines the speech radical "言" with "义", denoting righteousness or meaning. Together, they create a semantic compound where "建" conveys the idea of proposing or initiating, and "议" adds the sense of discourse or opinion, resulting in the overall meaning of "suggestion" or "advice" through the conceptual fusion of putting forth an idea for discussion.
