醒来

• Pinyin: xǐng lái
• Desglose de hanzi: 醒 = 酉 + 星 (awake/sober up); 来 = directional complement marking resultative completion

Significado

Despertarse; recobrar la consciencia.

A verb-complement construction where 来 marks completion of the waking process. Used both literally (from sleep) and medically (from anaesthesia or a coma). More specific than 醒 alone.
