性能 (xìng néng)

--feedback--

This word combines the syllables xìng and néng.

--explanation--

The first syllable combines the initial x with the final ing, and uses the fourth tone, which is a falling tone. The second syllable combines the initial n with the final eng, and uses the second tone, which rises from mid to high.

性能 (xìng néng) is used to talk about how well something works, especially in terms of speed, stability, or efficiency.
