The term 百万 (bǎi wàn) specifically means "one million" in Chinese. It is composed of two characters: 百 (bǎi), meaning "hundred," and 万 (wàn), meaning "ten thousand." Together, they denote the numerical value of one million (100 x 10,000).
This is different from other Chinese words that express the idea of "many." For instance:
1. 很多 (hěn duō) - This means "a lot" or "many" in a more general sense, without specifying a number. It is used to indicate a large quantity but does not imply an exact figure.
2. 许多 (xǔ duō) - Similar to 很多 (hěn duō), it means "many" or "a lot," used to express a large but undefined number.
While words like 很多 (hěn duō) and 许多 (xǔ duō) can describe an abundance or large quantity, 百万 (bǎi wàn) is precise and denotes exactly one million. This distinction is important in contexts where numerical clarity is required, such as finance or statistics.

百万 (bǎi wàn) is used in everyday speech to refer to a million. For example, someone might say 他的财富超过百万 (tā de cái fù chāo guò bǎi wàn) meaning "his wealth is over a million". It is also used to refer to a large number, for example someone might say 他的朋友多达百万 (tā de péng you duō dá bǎi wàn) meaning "he has over a million friends".
