Definition in Chinese

Word origin

有助于 (yǒuzhùyú, "help toward") combines 有 (yǒu, "have") + 助 (zhù, "assist") + 于 (yú, "toward"), presenting a condition as support directed toward a result.

Usage tips

  • In everyday speech, this expression sounds more formal and impersonal than a direct offer of assistance, so it commonly describes what an activity or condition does for a result.
