知识 (zhī shi)

--feedback--

This word combines the syllables zhī and shi. Remember to type 5 at the end for neutral tone syllables.

--explanation--

The first syllable zhī takes the first tone, which is high and level. The second syllable is shi and is pronounced as a neutral tone, so it sounds lighter and shorter.

知识 (zhī shi) refers to information, understanding, and skills acquired through experience or education, representing what a person knows.
