When you write or draw, you need something to make marks on the paper, right? That something is 墨水 (mò shuǐ). Think of it like the liquid inside your pen that helps you write words or draw pictures. It's usually black, blue, or red.
So, if you say, "I need a pen with 墨水," it means you need a pen that has ink in it so you can write. Simple, right?
When talking about writing or printing, you'll often encounter the word 墨水 (mòshuǐ). It directly translates to "ink" in English. Think of it as the liquid used in pens or printers to create text or images. For example, if your pen runs out, you might say "我的钢笔没有墨水了" (wǒ de gāngbǐ méiyǒu mòshuǐ le), meaning "My pen has no ink left." You can also use it when discussing printer cartridges, like "打印机需要新墨水" (dǎyìnjī xūyào xīn mòshuǐ), which means "The printer needs new ink."
When talking about writing or drawing, 墨水 (mòshuǐ) is a very practical word to know. It directly translates to 'ink' and is used in contexts where you'd typically refer to the colored liquid used in pens, printers, or for calligraphy.
For example, if your pen runs out, you might say '我的钢笔没有墨水了' (Wǒ de gāngbǐ méiyǒu mòshuǐ le), meaning 'My fountain pen has no ink.' Or, if you spill some, '我不小心把墨水洒了' (Wǒ bù xiǎoxīn bǎ mòshuǐ sǎ le) means 'I accidentally spilled the ink.'
It's a straightforward term, so you don't need to worry about many complex nuances. Just remember it's the general word for ink, whether it's for writing, printing, or art.
When discussing Chinese vocabulary related to stationery or writing, 墨水 (mòshuǐ) is an essential term to know. It directly translates to 'ink'.
You might encounter 墨水 in contexts such as describing the refill for a pen, the liquid used in a printer, or even traditional Chinese calligraphy. It's a fundamental word for anyone learning about common office supplies or art materials.
For example, if you want to say 'black ink,' you would say '黑墨水 (hēi mòshuǐ).' Or, if a pen has run out of ink, you might hear '钢笔没墨水了 (gāngbǐ méi mòshuǐ le),' meaning 'The fountain pen has no ink.'

§ What Does "墨水" Mean?
Alright, let's talk about the Chinese word 墨水 (mòshuǐ). Simply put, it means ink. You'll hear this word whenever someone is talking about the colored liquid used for writing, drawing, or printing.
- DEFINITION
- 墨水 (mòshuǐ): ink
It's a straightforward noun, and its usage is pretty much identical to 'ink' in English. Think about all the places you use or see ink: pens, printers, calligraphy, even tattoos. If it's a liquid that leaves a mark, chances are, in Chinese, you're talking about 墨水.
§ When Do People Use "墨水"?
You'll encounter 墨水 in a few common situations. Here are the main ones:
- Talking about pens: If your pen runs out, or you need to refill it, you'll definitely use 墨水.
- Printers: Printer cartridges, low ink warnings – it's all about 墨水.
- Calligraphy and art: Traditional Chinese calligraphy relies heavily on special ink.
- Metaphorical use (less common at this level, but good to know): Sometimes, 'ink' can refer to the act of writing or publishing, similar to 'putting ink to paper' in English. However, for A2, focus on the literal meaning.
Let's look at some practical examples so you can see how 墨水 fits into real sentences.
这支笔没有墨水了。
Here, 这支笔没有墨水了 (zhè zhī bǐ méiyǒu mòshuǐ le) means 'This pen has no ink left.' Simple and direct.
我需要买一些打印机墨水。
This sentence, 我需要买一些打印机墨水 (wǒ xūyào mǎi yì xiē dǎyìnjī mòshuǐ), translates to 'I need to buy some printer ink.' Notice how 打印机 (dǎyìnjī), meaning 'printer', comes before 墨水 to specify what kind of ink it is.
请给我一瓶黑色墨水。
And finally, 请给我一瓶黑色墨水 (qǐng gěi wǒ yì píng hēisè mòshuǐ) means 'Please give me a bottle of black ink.' You can put the color before 墨水 to describe it, just like in English.
So, when you're looking to communicate about ink in Chinese, 墨水 is your word. It's common, practical, and easy to integrate into your conversations about office supplies, art, or just when your pen stops working!
§ Basic Usage: What is 墨水?
Okay, so you've learned that 墨水 (mòshuǐ) means 'ink'. Simple enough, right? It's a noun, just like 'ink' in English. This means you can use it to talk about the substance itself. You'll often see it used in contexts related to writing, drawing, or printing.
- DEFINITION
- 墨水 (mòshuǐ) is the colored liquid used for writing, drawing, or printing.
§ How to Use 墨水 in Sentences

Comment l'utiliser
墨水 (mòshuǐ) literally means "ink water" and is the most common word for ink in Chinese. You'll hear it used for writing ink, printer ink, and even tattoo ink. If you're talking about fountain pens, you might also hear 钢笔水 (gāngbǐshuǐ), which means "fountain pen water," but 墨水 is perfectly fine here too.
A common mistake is trying to use 水 (shuǐ) alone to mean ink. While 墨水 contains 水, just saying 水 will typically be understood as plain water. Always use 墨水 when you mean ink.
Mémorise-le
Moyen mnémotechnique
Imagine a **moth** (mò) flying into some **water** (shuǐ) and leaving an inky trail. Mòshuǐ = ink.
Association visuelle
Picture a traditional Chinese ink stick and an inkwell. The ink stick is black, and when you grind it with water, it creates the dark liquid ink. Focus on the visual of the dark liquid forming.
Word Web
Défi
Describe objects that use ink in Chinese. For example, '钢笔用墨水。' (Fountain pens use ink.) Or '打印机需要墨水。' (Printers need ink.)
Origine du mot
The word 墨水 (mò shuǐ) is a compound word. 墨 (mò) originally referred to Chinese ink sticks, often made from soot and glue. 水 (shuǐ) means water. Together, 墨水 refers to the liquid form of ink.
Sens originel : Liquid ink, as opposed to solid ink sticks.
Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic, ChineseContexte culturel
Ink has a profound cultural significance in China, especially in the arts of calligraphy and traditional painting. It's not just a writing medium but an integral part of artistic expression, embodying the spirit and philosophy of Chinese aesthetics. The quality of ink, its shade, and consistency are all carefully considered by artists and scholars.
