Long explanation:

The Mandarin Chinese word '已经 (yǐjīng)' is used to express that an action or state has already occurred or exists. It is the equivalent of the English word 'already'. '已经 (yǐjīng)' is typically used with the perfective aspect particle '了 (le)', but the '了 (le)' can be omitted in some situations.
