答案

答案 means 'answer' or 'solution' in English. It refers to a response to a question or the resolution of a problem, often used in academic, logical, or practical contexts.

The character 答 (dā) originally meant 'to respond' or 'to answer,' while 案 (àn) means 'case' or 'record.' Together, they form a term that implies a formal or structured response, often used in exams, discussions, or problem-solving situations.

答案 is commonly used in daily life, such as in schoolwork, quizzes, or when seeking clarification. It is also found in idioms like 答案在你手中 (the answer is in your hands), suggesting that solutions are within one's control.
