About
The Chinese word **朗读** (lǎngdú, meaning "to read aloud") is a compound word formed through the combination of two meaningful characters: **朗** (lǎng), which conveys "clear," "bright," or "loud," and **读** (dú), which means "to read." This structure follows the common Chinese morphological pattern where a modifier (朗) describes the manner or quality of the action verb (读), effectively creating a new verb meaning "to read in a clear and audible manner." Thus, the word semantically and syntactically integrates the concept of clarity or vocalization with the act of reading.
