感恩
gǎn ēn · HSK 7
to be grateful
🙏 感 = feel + 恩 = kindness/grace; feeling someone's kindness = gratitude
感 means to feel or sense; 恩 means kindness, grace, or favor received from someone. Together they describe the act of feeling and acknowledging another person's kindness — gratitude.
感 — heart 心 + 咸 (xián, phonetic)
A semantic-phonetic compound. The heart radical 心 at the bottom carries the meaning of feeling or emotion, while 咸 supplies the sound. Together 感 conveys being moved in the heart, hence 'to feel,' 'sense,' or 'be affected by' something.
