Usage of 漏 (lòu)
The character 漏 primarily means "to leak," referring to liquids or gases escaping unintentionally from a container or enclosed space. It is commonly used in contexts involving physical leaks, such as water pipes or roofs.
Besides the literal sense, 漏 can also be used metaphorically to describe information or secrets being disclosed unintentionally, as in "leaking a secret."
Common Collocations
- 漏水 (lòu shuǐ): water leaking, often used for pipes or roofs
- 漏气 (lòu qì): gas leaking
- 漏掉 (lòu diào): to miss or omit something, often information
Notes
When using 漏 to describe information leakage, it often implies an accidental or unintended disclosure. It differs from 散布 (sànbù) which means to spread information intentionally.
Avoid confusing 漏 with 漏洞 (lòudòng), which means "a loophole" or "gap" in a system or argument, though they share the same root character.
