此次

此次 means 'this time' or 'during this occasion.' It refers to a specific instance or event in the present or recent past, often used to emphasize a particular occurrence rather than a general or habitual action.

The character 此 (cǐ) means 'this,' and 次 (cì) means 'time' or 'occasion.' Together, they form a compound that specifically denotes 'this time,' distinguishing it from other times or events.

此次 is commonly used in both spoken and written Chinese to highlight the current or most recent event. It appears frequently in news reports, formal documents, and everyday conversations when referring to a specific occurrence, such as a meeting, event, or situation.
