The word 碰见 (pèngjiàn), meaning "to meet unexpectedly" or "to run into", is a typical Chinese compound verb formed through the combination of two independent verbs, 碰 (pèng) and 见 (jiàn). The first character, 碰, carries the core meaning of an accidental or casual "bump" or "encounter", while the second, 见, means "to see" or "to meet". When combined in this verb-complement (or resultative) structure, 碰 acts as the main action implying a chance occurrence, and 见 serves as the result, indicating that the encounter leads to "seeing" or "meeting" someone. Thus, the compound semantically merges the notions of an unplanned contact and its immediate outcome, creating a single lexical unit that specifically denotes a fortuitous meeting.
