分明

分明 (clearly, evidently)

Explanation

分明 (fēnmíng) is used to emphasize that something is very clear, evident, impossible to mistake. It is often used in statements or questions to express surprise or firm affirmation about something that has happened or a fact. For example: 我分明看他走过来了 (I clearly saw him come over) emphasizes that the seeing was very clear.

Examples

我分明看他走过来了，怎么一下子就不见了呢？

让我三天就完成，你分明是在为难我。
