得知

得知 means 'to learn' or 'to find out' in English. It is used when someone becomes aware of a fact or piece of information, often through communication or observation.

The character 得 (dé) originally meant 'to obtain' or 'to get,' while 知 (zhī) means 'to know' or 'to understand.' Together, they form a verb that conveys the idea of gaining knowledge or becoming informed about something.

得知 is commonly used in both formal and informal contexts, such as in news reports, personal conversations, or written communication. It is often followed by a clause explaining what was learned, making it an essential phrase for conveying information in Chinese.
