Definition in Chinese

比平常或比现在更早地停止活动，去休息或睡觉。bǐ píng cháng huò bǐ xiàn zài gèng zǎo dì tíng zhǐ huó dòng qù xiū xī huò shuì jiào

Word origin

早点 (zǎodiǎn, "a little earlier") functions as a time adverb before 休息 (xiūxī, "to rest"), so the phrase turns ordinary rest into rest begun ahead of schedule.

Usage tips

  • In everyday conversation, this phrase can close a message with care, so it often sounds warmer than a bare statement about bedtime; formal contexts may use a fuller polite sentence.
