Definition in Chinese

Word origin
讲 (jiǎng, "speak") + 解 (jiě, "untangle") combines speaking with the image of untangling a subject, giving the sense of making it clear enough to understand or follow.
Usage tips
- The person being taught can appear with 给 (gěi, "to") before the verb, while the topic usually follows it, so Chinese can show both recipient and subject in one compact frame.
