议

• 拼音: yì
• 汉字拆解: 议 = 言 (speech radical — words, speech) + 义 (righteousness — principled moral reasoning)

含义

To discuss; to deliberate; to confer on matters formally. Often appears in compound words and formal written contexts.

As a standalone verb 议 is literary and formal, appearing mainly in set phrases like 议定 (agree upon after deliberation), 议价 (negotiate a price), and 提议 (make a proposal). In everyday speech, 讨论 or 商量 are more natural. 议 emphasises structured, institutional discussion rather than casual exchange.
