The Chinese word 停止 means “to stop” or “to cease”. It is commonly used in everyday language to indicate the act of putting an end to something or making it come to a halt. For example, you might use this word to tell someone to stop talking, stop moving, or stop doing something that they are not supposed to be doing. The word can also be used in more formal or technical contexts, such as in discussions of scientific experiments, where it might be used to describe the cessation of a particular process or reaction.
