好
hǎo
Why 好 covers "all better" and "okay, got it"
The picture Gears meshing smoothly, nothing catching anywhere along the turn. 好 is meshing with nothing catching; 坏 is cracked and no longer meshing.
Where the picture shows up in 好
-
a plan meshes
这个办法很好,我们就这么做。
zhè ge bàn fǎ hěn hǎo, wǒ men jiù zhè me zuò.
That's a good way to do it — let's go with that.
One item on the whiteboard circled while heads around the table nod
-
a body meshes again
医生,我的感冒好了吗?
yī shēng, wǒ de gǎn mào hǎo le ma?
Doctor, has my cold cleared up?
A red throat settling down, the coughing stopped, breath moving evenly
-
meshing with what was said
好,我马上过去。
hǎo, wǒ mǎ shàng guò qù.
Okay, I'll be right over.
A single nod into the phone, then standing up straight away
-
easy to carry out
你们店很好找,门口有大树。
nǐ men diàn hěn hǎo zhǎo, mén kǒu yǒu dà shù.
Our shop is easy to find — there's a big tree out front.
One big tree visible from far off, leading the eye straight to the door
-
two people mesh
我跟同事的关系很好。
wǒ gēn tóng shì de guān xi hěn hǎo.
I get on well with my colleagues.
The same lunch table at noon, everyone laughing easily
All of it in one picture
好 is one set of gears meshing cleanly. Mesh a plan and it's a good plan; mesh a body again and the cold has cleared; mesh with what someone just said and it's "okay"; mesh a route and the shop is easy to find; mesh two people and they get on well.
