character) and meaning part(the semantic symbol that decides the
meaning of the character), and have each of their own respective
pronunciation, while the word is to be made of one or several
characters juxtaposed together, however, with space interposed

of one single phonetic syllable, contrast to Egyptian Arabic word that
is usually multi-phonetic, with different vowel sounds weaved into the
multiple consonant sounds to compose one full-meaning word, and
there is no space between the phonetic syllables in one single word.
So Chinese language is a more semantic language with meanings of
expression focused on the words, instead of through the
sophisticated syntax of sentences, since it created brand new words
of different meanings through various ways of combining different
characters, and for each sentence, there is no additional space
between the words, except the small gap between the characters, to
clearly show the separate parts of subject, predicate, or the object,
