About
The Chinese word 气死 (qìsǐ) is a verb-object compound formed by combining the verb 气 (qì), meaning "to anger" or "to make angry", with the resultative complement 死 (sǐ), meaning "to death". Literally, it translates as "to anger to death", but it functions idiomatically to express an extreme state of frustration, meaning "to be driven to fury" or "to be pissed off to the maximum degree". The structure follows a common grammatical pattern in Chinese where a verb is followed by a complement that indicates the extreme result or consequence of the action, thus hyperbolically intensifying the emotional state.
