Definition in Chinese
用于提醒对方查看并保存或接收已发送的电子文件或实物，通常包含要求确认已收到的含义。yòng yú tí xǐng duì fāng chá kàn bìng bǎo cún huò jiē shōu yǐ fā sòng de diàn zi wén jiàn huò shí wù tōng cháng bāo hán yāo qiú què rèn yǐ shōu dào de hán yì
Word origin
The verb combines 查 (chá, "inspect") and 收 (shōu, "receive"), so two once-separate actions form one compact request about an arriving item.
Usage tips
- For English speakers, 查收 (cháshōu, "check and receive") is useful when "check" alone would sound complete in English but the Chinese expression also signals that the item should be received.
