How to use 新兴

新兴 is a formal adjective used mostly in news, business and economics to describe emerging markets, industries, technologies or diseases. It usually comes directly before a noun. Example: 中国是一个新兴市场。(Zhōngguó shì yí ge xīnxīng shìchǎng.) China is an emerging market.

新 (xīn) means new and 兴 (xīng) means to rise or flourish, so 新兴 is something new that is rising up. Picture a new company climbing quickly in the market.

Common mistake: 兴 has two readings. In 新兴 it is first tone xīng, but in 高兴 (gāoxìng) and 兴趣 (xìngqù) it is fourth tone xìng, so learners often say xīnxìng by mistake. Also, 新兴 has the same pinyin as 新星 (xīnxīng, new star), so watch which characters you type.
