271 Outstanding

What is your definition of an “outstanding” person? Having travelled the world, starting and growing big conferences, Martin Talvari has had the chance to get to know a lot of “outstanding” people from many different nations. ShaoLan teaches him the word for “outstanding,” which when you take it apart, gives you the building blocks to make a lot of other useful words and phrases, such as the words for “exit,” “population” and “crowd”!

The Chinese word for outstanding is 出眾/出众. The first character 出 means “out” or “go out” and the second character 眾/众 means “crowd,” so something or someone who can “stand out from the crowd” is “outstanding” 出眾/出众!
