When something 加重 (jiāzhòng), it gets worse or more serious.
You often hear this when talking about an illness or a problem. For example, if you don't rest, your cold might 加重.
It means the situation is becoming more difficult or severe.
Think of it as adding weight to an already heavy situation, making it heavier.
Wusstest du?
Many Chinese verbs are formed by combining two characters, where each character contributes to the overall meaning. Here, '加' implies an intensifying action, and '重' describes the state being intensified.
Aussprachehilfe
- Tones: The biggest challenge here will be getting the tones right. '加' is first tone (high and flat), and '重' is fourth tone (falling). Mispronouncing tones can change the meaning of words in Chinese.
- Aspiration: The 'zh' sound in '重' is an aspirated retroflex affricate. Make sure to release a puff of air when saying it, but don't overdo it. English speakers often struggle with this sound.
- 'i' sound: The 'i' in '加' is similar to the 'ee' in 'see', but shorter. Don't drag it out too much.
