Word origin

受 (shòu, "undergo") + 骗 (piàn, "deceive") presents deception as something suffered by the victim, rather than an action the victim chooses.

Usage tips

  • With a past-time phrase, sentence-final 了 (le, "sentence-final particle") presents the deception as a completed event, so the sentence describes what happened rather than a general possibility.
