The Chinese word 误会 means “misunderstanding” in English. It is commonly used to describe a situation where someone has misunderstood something that was said or done. For example, if two people are having a conversation and one person says something that the other person takes the wrong way, they might say “你误会了” to indicate that there has been a misunderstanding. The word can also be used as a verb, as in “我误会了他的意思”, which means “I misunderstood what he meant”.
