Meaning and Usage

Common Contexts

This word is frequently used in security contexts, such as access control to buildings or restricted areas. It can also describe habitual movement in and out of social venues or places.

Collocations and Patterns

  • 出入 (chūrù zhèng): access card or permit, used to control entry and exit.

  • 出入自由 (chūrù zìyóu): freedom to come and go, implying no restrictions.

Usage Notes

When using 出入, the focus is on the physical movement or permission to move in and out. It is more formal and often used in official or security-related contexts compared to simpler verbs like (jìn) or (chū) alone. Avoid confusing 出入 with 出口 (exit) or 入口 (entrance), which refer specifically to the physical door or gate rather than the action or permission of entering and exiting.
