한자 분해

Overview

The term 联合国 (liánhéguó) refers specifically to the United Nations, an international organization founded to promote peace, security, and cooperation among countries worldwide.

Usage

It is used primarily in formal or news contexts when discussing international relations, diplomacy, or global issues. The word is a compound of (ally, unite), (combine, join), and (country), literally meaning 'United Countries.'

Common Collocations

  • 联合国总部 (United Nations headquarters): refers to the main office, often in New York.
  • 联合国部队 (UN peacekeeping forces): troops deployed by the UN to maintain peace.
  • 联合国决议 (UN resolution): official decisions or statements made by the UN.

Notes

When using 联合国, it is important to distinguish it from other international organizations. It is always capitalized in English as 'United Nations' and often abbreviated as 'UN.' In Chinese, it is always used as a proper noun and does not take measure words unless specified (e.g., 联合国会议 - a United Nations meeting).

Avoid confusing 联合国 with 联合 (union, alliance) alone, which can refer to any alliance or coalition, not specifically the UN.
