未婚

未婚 means 'unmarried' and refers to someone who has not entered into a legal or traditional marriage. It is often used in official documents, surveys, or personal descriptions to indicate marital status.

The character 未 (wèi) means 'not yet' or 'not,' and 婚 (hūn) means 'marriage.' Together, they form a compound that literally translates to 'not married,' emphasizing the absence of a marital relationship.

In Chinese culture, marital status is often important in social and familial contexts. 未婚 is commonly used in census forms, dating profiles, and personal introductions. It is also contrasted with 已婚 (yǐhūn), meaning 'married,' and is an essential term for understanding social dynamics in China.
