距

• Pinyin: jù
• Desglose de hanzi: 距 = 足 (foot/distance) + 巨 (enormous — phonetic component)

Significado

Distar de; separarse de; faltar (tiempo) para.

Functions as both a preposition and verb. Used in formal and written Chinese to express measurable distance or time remaining before an event. More precise and literary than 离 in formal contexts; both are acceptable in everyday usage.
