Words of interest

“运行” (yùnxíng)  is often used to describe the operation or functioning of machines or systems, similar to how we use “run” in English for appliances, software, or processes. The word combines “运” (yùn), which can mean “move” or “transport,” with “行” (xíng), meaning “go” or “perform.” Together, they convey the idea of something being in operation or motion, particularly in a continuous or ongoing manner.
