词汇

词汇 refers to a collection of words or the total set of words known or used by a speaker or in a language. It is often used to describe the range of words one knows, especially in the context of learning a language.

The character 词 (cí) means 'word' or 'term,' while 汇 (huì) means 'collection' or 'gather.' Together, they form a term that emphasizes the compilation of words, making it a key concept in language study and communication.

In Chinese education, vocabulary is fundamental for reading, writing, and speaking. Learners often focus on expanding their vocabulary to improve fluency. The term is also used in dictionaries and language textbooks to refer to word lists or lexical resources.
