Character Breakdown

Usage of 发送

The verb 发送 (fāsòng) primarily means "to send" or "to dispatch," commonly used in contexts involving sending messages, emails, packages, or signals. It is a formal and neutral term suitable for both spoken and written Chinese.

Common contexts

  • Sending electronic communications: emails, text messages, or data.
  • Dispatching physical items: parcels, letters, or shipments.

Collocations and patterns

  • 发送邮件 (send email): very common in work and daily communication.
  • 发送短信 (send text message): used in mobile communication.
  • 发送包裹 (send package): used in logistics and delivery.

Notes

Unlike simpler verbs like (sòng), which can mean "to give" or "to escort," 发送 emphasizes the act of sending or transmitting, often with a sense of official or technical dispatch. It is not used for casual giving of gifts or accompanying someone.

Avoid confusing 发送 with (fā) alone, which can mean "to emit" or "to issue" but is less specific about the recipient or direction.
