Word origin
解答 (jiědá, "answer") combines 解 (jiě, "untangle or explain") with 答 (dá, "respond"), linking a response with the reasoning or result that resolves a question.
Usage tips
- In everyday Chinese, this word sounds more formal and task-focused than a brief spoken reply, so it fits questions that call for an explanation or worked-out result.
