Reading about the problem of segmenting Chinese sentences (topic – search). Like, in Russian and English you can split by spaces, but in Chinese – no such luck.

Interesting example:

我␣喜欢␣新西兰␣花 – I like fresh broccoli

我␣喜欢␣新␣西兰花 – I like New Zealand flowers

or another one

才能 – two characters, translation – talent

才 能 two words, one character each, translation “only then capable”

or here –

学会 two characters, translation – society

学 会 two words, one character each, translation “learn how”

and also shown in the picture, how three words combine into one, and it cannot be split)
