(单词翻译:双击或拖选)
The Mandarin word meaning "nearly" or "almost" is chàbuduō. It is made up of three characters: 差 (chà) means "differ from," 不 (bù) is a negating particle, and 多 (duō) means “many” or “much.”

The last two characters 不多 (buduō) mean “not a lot,” so the literal meaning of these three characters is “doesn’t differ a lot,” hence “nearly.”
