The other morpheme \u201cd\u00f2ng<\/i><\/span>\n(move [\u2192 [stir | arouse | change; alter]]<\/span>\n\u52a8\n\u52d5<\/span>)<\/span>\u201d basically means \u201cmove\u201d.

(Interestingly, the English word \u201canimal<\/a>\u201d is related to the word \u201canimate<\/a>\u201d, which can mean \u201cbring into action or movement<\/a>\u201d.)

Interactive Indeed<\/h4>\n

The English word \u201cinteractive\u201d has a particular meaning<\/a> in the world of computing, which is \u201cresponds to user activity\u201d.<\/p>\n

Interestingly, the Enjoy Life Forever!<\/i> book even has some interactivity in its paper form, with its \u201cLesson completed on:\u201d and \u201cGoal\u201d sections allowing room for a user to write in them with a pencil or pen. This is in addition to the limited interactivity that any paper publication offers a user, such as being able to write notes in the margins or to highlight or underline text.<\/p>\n

The Enjoy Life Forever!<\/i> book in the PDF file format\u2014a computer file format that is conceptually rooted in the world of paper<\/a>\u2014adds the ability for a user to tap\/click on links to load the web pages on which the videos mentioned in the book can be played. As we move on to more computer-native formats, we find that on the jw.org<\/a> website and in the JW Library app, where of course links are available for playing the videos, a user can tap\/click on text fields in the \u201cLesson completed on:\u201d and \u201cGoal\u201d sections and type text into them that will be \u201cremembered\u201d. Also, a user can tap\/click on the checkboxes in the \u201cGoal\u201d section, and those checkboxes will \u201cremember\u201d and show whether they are checked or unchecked.<\/p>\n

As discussed in the JW Broadcasting\u2014January 2021<\/a> program, when it comes to the more general meaning of the English word \u201cinteractive\u201d, \u201cacting upon or influencing each other\u201d, the Enjoy Life Forever!<\/i> book in every format is designed to engage and involve people more than past Bible study textbooks did. It indeed qualifies as \u201cinteractive\u201d, or as we say in Mandarin, \u201ch\u00f9d\u00f2ng<\/i><\/span>\n(h\u00f9\u00b7d\u00f2ng\n{each other} \u00b7 moving \u2192<\/span> [interactive]<\/span>\n\u4e92\u52a8\n\u4e92\u52d5<\/span>)<\/span>\n\nsh\u00ec<\/i><\/span>\n(type<\/span>\n\u5f0f)<\/span>\u201d.<\/p>\n
