About
The Chinese word 竟敢 is formed by combining the adverb 竟 (jìng), which conveys surprise or disbelief akin to "actually" or "unexpectedly", with the verb 敢 (gǎn), meaning "to dare" or "to have the audacity". Together, they create a compound that expresses strong indignation or shock at someone's boldness, literally meaning "actually dare to"... or "how dare".... This structure is a common grammatical pattern in Chinese where an adverbial modifier intensifies a verb, resulting in a phrase primarily used in rhetorical questions or exclamations to condemn an action perceived as presumptuous or defiant.
