句子

jù zǐ

English translation of 句子

sentence

In Chinese, '句子' means sentence. It is commonly used to refer to a set of words that is complete in itself, conveying a statement, question, exclamation, or command, and consisting of a main constant and sometimes one or more subordinate clauses. Like English, a Chinese sentence also has grammar and syntax that govern its structure.
