The word \u79bb (l\u00ed) means separate and \u5408 (h\u00e9) means unite, so it\u2019s really an oxymoron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, the word \u5e2e\u5fd9 (b\u0101ngm\u00e1ng) is a separable word consisting of two characters, \u5e2e (b\u0101ng) and \u5fd9 (m\u00e1ng). Here\u2019s an example of how to use it in a sentence:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom_example_style\">\u4ed6\u6709\u56f0\u96be\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u5e94\u8be5<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u5e2e\u5fd9<\/span>\u3002 (T\u0101 y\u01d2u k\u00f9nn\u00e1n, w\u014fmen y\u012bngg\u0101i b\u0101ngm\u00e1ng.)<br>He is having some trouble, we should do (him) a favor. (\u201chim\u201d is implied in this case)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two characters can also be used separately, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom_example_style\">\u4ed6\u6709\u56f0\u96be\uff0c\u6211\u4eec\u5e94\u8be5<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u5e2e<\/span>\u4ed6\u7684<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u5fd9<\/span>\u3002(T\u0101 y\u01d2u k\u00f9nn\u00e1n, w\u01d2men y\u012bngg\u0101i b\u0101ng t\u0101 de m\u00e1ng.)<br>He is having some trouble, we should do him a favor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You cannot separate general verbs like \u5e2e\u52a9(b\u0101ngzh\u00f9) under any circumstances. But, you can use one character of the word, like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom_example_style\">\u6211\u8981<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">\u5e2e<\/span>\u4ed6\u3002 (w\u01d2 y\u00e0o b\u0101ng t\u0101.)<br>I want to help him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To determine if a word is separable or not, you can use this simpletrick: the first character of a separable word usually indicates an action, and the second character is often a noun affected by the action. For instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u89c1\u9762 (ji\u00e0nmi\u00e0n) to meet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u63e1\u624b (w\u00f2sh\u01d2u) to shake hands<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u8df3\u821e (ti\u00e0ow\u01d4) to dance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are all separable words. \u89c1(ji\u00e0n), \u63e1(w\u00f2), and \u8df3(ti\u00e0o) are verbs, while \u9762(mi\u00e0n), \u624b(sh\u01d2u), and \u821e(w\u01d4) are nouns. However, this trick does not work for all separable words. Ultimately, the best way to learn them is through frequent practice and repetition.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Separable-Verbs-VS.-General-Verbs\"><strong>Separable Verbs vs. General Verbs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"vs_1\">1.
