HSK 7
所谓⋯⋯ 就是⋯⋯
所谓⋯⋯ 就是⋯⋯ (The so-called... is precisely...)
Explanation
This is a structure used to explain or clarify a concept, usually with an emphatic implication, sometimes with a tone of skepticism or disagreement. '所谓' (suǒwèi) means 'the so-called', '就是' (jiùshì) means 'is precisely'. This structure is often used to redefine or give a more specific understanding of a previously mentioned term. For example: '所谓家具就是这几把椅子' (The so-called furniture in the room is precisely these few chairs) shows the contrast between the ordinary concept of 'furniture' and the reality of only a few shabby chairs.
