Character Breakdown

Usage of 经过

The word 经过 (jīng guò) primarily means "to pass by" or "to go through." It is commonly used to describe physically passing a place, such as a park or a street, as in the example "我们经过公园学校" (We pass by the park on the way to school).

Besides physical passage, 经过 also expresses the idea of undergoing a process or experience, often implying that something has been reviewed, examined, or has elapsed over time. For instance, "考试经过严格" means the exam went through a strict review process.

It can also indicate the passage of time or events leading to a result, as in "经过休息终于恢复健康" (After a few days of rest, he finally recovered).

Common Collocations

Notes

  • 经过 is often followed by a noun indicating a place, process, or time.
  • It differs from (lùguò), which emphasizes passing by without stopping, while 经过 can imply a more general passing or undergoing.
  • Avoid confusing 经过 with 通过 (tōngguò), which often means "to pass" in the sense of passing an exam or approval, though they can overlap in some contexts.

Example Sentences
