流利 liúlì fluent
怎么记住“流利”: 流 flow + 利 benefit = fluent.
汉字
用法
- An adjective for smooth, fluent language ability - 说得很流利 (shuō de hěn liúlì) speaks very fluently, typically paired with 得 as a complement after a speaking verb.
- Used specifically for language/speech fluency, not general skill (for which 熟练, shúliàn, "proficient/skilled" is used instead).
- 流 carries the sense of "flowing", so 流利 literally evokes speech that flows smoothly without stumbling.
