用法
- Formal, written-register character - the everyday spoken verb for "lose (an object)" is 丢 diū, not 遗.
- 很遗憾 (hěn yíhàn) "unfortunately / it's a pity" is the most useful compound, a polite way to express regret, e.g. when declining an invitation.
- Most other compounds cluster around "what is left behind": 遗产 yíchǎn (inheritance/heritage), 遗传 yíchuán (heredity), 遗嘱 yízhǔ (a will).
- 遗体 yítǐ is the respectful, formal word for a corpse used in obituaries and funerals, unlike the blunt 尸体.
