Definition
生财 is a verb-object (离合词) meaning 'to make money' or 'to generate wealth'. The two syllables 生 and 财 can separate when adding aspect markers or complements—for example, you can say 生了财 (made money) or 生起财来 (start making money). Note that this word also has a noun sense referring to 'furniture and office equipment of a business', but that meaning is not covered by the verb-object part of speech listed here.
