Definition in Chinese

Word origin

堆 (duī, "pile") + 放 (fàng, "put") combines piling with placing, so the word presents objects as a pile left in a particular spot.

Usage tips

  • In conversation, a simple "put ... in/on" expression is often more natural when objects are merely placed, while 堆放 (duīfàng, "pile up and place") highlights a pile at a location.
