Usage of 受 (shòu)
The character 受 primarily means "to receive" or "to accept," but it also conveys the idea of "enduring" or "undergoing" something, often something intangible like pressure or influence. It is commonly used in both physical and abstract contexts.
Common Collocations
- 受到 (shòu dào): to receive (praise, criticism, influence)
- 受伤 (shòu shāng): to be injured
- 受影响 (shòu yǐng xiǎng): to be influenced
Notes
When using 受, the object is often something abstract like praise, pressure, or help. It can also describe physical reception, such as receiving an injury. Unlike some verbs that only indicate physical reception, 受 frequently implies an experience or effect endured by the subject.
Avoid confusing 受 with 收 (shōu), which also means "to receive" but is more about physically collecting or gathering items.
