The Chinese word 服药 (fú yào), meaning "to take medicine", is a compound verb formed through a straightforward semantic combination. It follows the common Chinese grammatical structure of [Verb + Object], where the first character 服 (fú) means "to take" or "to consume" (in this specific context), and the second character 药 (yào) means "medicine" or "drug". Together, they create a single lexical unit that denotes the complete action of ingesting medication, showcasing how Chinese efficiently forms precise concepts by combining meaningful, stand-alone characters.
