How to use 完整
完整 describes things that have all their parts or are undamaged, like information, a story, a set, or a structure. It often appears with words like 保存 (bǎocún) or 信息 (xìnxī). Example: 这本书保存得很完整。(Zhè běn shū bǎocún de hěn wánzhěng.) This book has been kept fully intact.
完 (wán) means finished or whole, and 整 (zhěng) means orderly or entire, as in 整个 (zhěnggè). Put them together and you get something whole with no parts missing.
Common mistake: Learners often use 完整 where 完成 (wánchéng) is needed. 完成 is a verb meaning to finish a task, while 完整 is an adjective meaning nothing is missing, so say 完成作业 for finishing homework, not 完整作业.
