About
The Chinese word 留给 is formed by combining two individual characters, each contributing its core meaning to create a new, unified concept. The first character, 留 (liú), carries the fundamental idea of "to remain", "to stay", or "to leave something behind". The second character, 给 (gěi), fundamentally means "to give" or "for the benefit of". When merged, their meanings conceptually blend to express the action of "leaving something (behind) to be given to" another, effectively conveying the notion of reserving or passing something on for a specific recipient.
