Character Breakdown

Usage of 受到

The verb 受到 (shòu dào) is commonly used to express receiving or experiencing something, often intangible like praise, influence, or punishment. It combines (to receive) and (to reach), emphasizing the reception or impact of an action or effect.

Common contexts

  • Receiving praise, criticism, or punishment: 受到表扬 (he received praise), 受到惩罚 (received punishment).
  • Experiencing influence or impact: 受到影响 (be influenced), 受到欢迎 (be welcomed).
  • Often used in formal or written contexts but also common in spoken Chinese.

Collocations and patterns

Notes

Unlike just , 受到 stresses the completion or actual reception of the action. It is not used for physical receiving of tangible objects (use for that). Avoid confusing 受到 with , which is more about receiving physical items or messages.

This word is very useful for expressing abstract receptions and is frequently seen in news, reports, and formal speech.

Example Sentences
