“pour” in Chinese
How to say “pour” in Chinese
“Pour” in Chinese is 注 (zhù).
Liquid is guided from a source into a target, with the target gaining what it needs.
Example sentences with 注
他把牛奶注入咖啡里。tā bǎ niú nǎi zhù rù kā fēi lǐ
He poured milk into the coffee.
Tips for using 注
- A stated receiving target is central to this verb, so it is less suitable for describing liquid that is merely released without a destination.
