Collocations and Patterns

Usage Notes

嗓子 is more specific than 喉咙 (hóulóng), which also means throat but is more anatomical. 嗓子 often implies the voice or vocal function, so it appears frequently in contexts related to singing, speaking, or voice health.

Avoid confusing 嗓子 with (mouth) or 喉咙; 嗓子 focuses on the voice box area. When describing voice quality or vocal strain, 嗓子 is the preferred term.

Example Sentences
