接近

• 拼音: jiē jìn

含义

To approach; to be close to; to draw near. To move closer or be similar to something in proximity, time, or quality.

Used for both physical proximity (approaching a location) and abstract closeness (nearing a goal, close to a number). Can also mean 'to get to know someone' in a social sense. Works as both a verb and an adjective meaning 'close to.'
