Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

"口令" (kǒulìng) primarily means a spoken password or command. It is commonly used in contexts where a secret word or phrase is required for access or authorization, such as entering a restricted area or continuing a game.

Common Contexts

  • Military or organizational commands: "口令" refers to orders given to troops or members.
  • Passwords or secret phrases: used to verify identity or grant access.

Collocations and Patterns

  • 出口 (say the password): used when someone must verbally provide the secret phrase.
  • 口令 (receive the command): often used in military or formal settings.
  • 输入口令 (enter the password): common in digital or game contexts.

Usage Notes

"口令" is more formal and specific than just "密码" (password), emphasizing the spoken or command aspect. It is often used in security or military contexts rather than casual passwords. Avoid confusing it with "命令" which is a broader term for orders without the secret or password nuance.

Example Sentences

Before entering the room, please say the password.

The army started to act immediately after receiving the command.

In the game, players need to enter the correct password to continue.
