加入

• 拼音: jiā rù
• 汉字拆解: 加 = 力 (strength) + 口 (mouth) — to add; 入 = a pictograph of entering — to go in

含义

To join; to add into. Describes becoming a member of a group or adding something into a mixture.

Has two main uses: (1) joining an organization, team, or group — 加入公司 (join a company), 加入俱乐部 (join a club); (2) adding an ingredient or element into something — 加入一点盐 (add a little salt). More formal than 参加 (to participate/attend), as 加入 implies becoming a member rather than just attending.
