恰巧

• 拼音: qià qiǎo
• 汉字拆解: 恰 = 忄(heart) + 合 (fit) (just right/exactly); 巧 = 工 (work) + 丂 (obstruction overcome) (skilful/coincidental)

含义

By coincidence; as luck would have it; just happen to. Describes an unexpected but timely coincidence.

Used to express that something happened at just the right moment or by chance. Stronger coincidental flavour than 正好 or 刚好, with more emphasis on the unexpected nature. Common in both spoken and written registers, especially narratives.
