About

The word "这里" is formed by the straightforward combination of two individual characters: "这", which means "this", and "里", which means "inside" or "interior". Their fusion creates a compound that literally signifies "this inside", a conceptual blend that directly points to a specific, proximate location, effectively meaning "this place" or "here".
