Chinese symbols are somewhat like Egyptian hieroglyphics, in that one symbol can represent an entire word. Individual symbols can be combined to make new words. The Mandarin word for electricity is dian (sounds like Dee Ann). The words for computer (dian nao 电脑), TV (dian shi 电视), and telephone (dian hua 电话) all contain the word for electricity. Also, often a character is combined with another character to make one new character. Some people estimate that there are over 20,000 unique Chinese symbols. To read a Chinese newspaper, you should know 3,000 characters.
There is a good website where you can translate English words into Chinese words, and vice versa. MDBG.net is the website. You can see how the characters are written and can see how the characters are combined to make new words.
