Origine du mot
The character '弄' (nòng) originally meant to play with or to handle, and over time it developed the meaning of 'to make' or 'to cause something to be in a certain state.' The character '皱' (zhòu) refers to wrinkles or creases.
Sens originel : To handle something in a way that causes wrinkles.
Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic, MandarinContexte culturel
<p>In Chinese culture, neatness and presentation are often valued. While '弄皱' literally refers to clothes, it can metaphorically extend to situations where things are made messy or complicated. For example, you might hear someone say they '弄皱' a plan, meaning they messed it up.</p>
Questions fréquentes
10 questionsThink of it this way: 弄 (nòng) means to do or to cause, and 皱 (zhòu) means wrinkled. So, you're 'causing' something to be 'wrinkled'. It's very direct!
Generally, yes, but primarily for things that can be physically creased or rumpled. You can say 弄皱纸 (nòng zhòu zhǐ) meaning 'to wrinkle paper', or even 弄皱脸 (nòng zhòu liǎn) meaning 'to wrinkle one's face' (like frowning). However, its most common use is with clothing.
弄皱 (nòng zhòu) is a verb, meaning 'to wrinkle' or 'to cause to wrinkle'. 皱 (zhòu) can be a verb or an adjective. As a verb, it also means 'to wrinkle', but often implies the action itself, without necessarily emphasizing the 'causing' aspect. As an adjective, it means 'wrinkled'. For example, 这件衬衫很皱 (zhè jiàn chènshān hěn zhòu) means 'This shirt is very wrinkled.' Whereas, 你把衬衫弄皱了 (nǐ bǎ chènshān nòng zhòu le) means 'You wrinkled the shirt.'
It's quite straightforward. For example:
- 不要把我的衣服弄皱了。 (Bùyào bǎ wǒ de yīfu nòng zhòu le.) Don't wrinkle my clothes.
- 他把床单弄皱了。 (Tā bǎ chuángdān nòng zhòu le.) He wrinkled the bedsheet.
It's a very common and neutral word. You'll hear it in everyday conversations and see it in written materials. It's not particularly formal or informal.
One common mistake is forgetting the 弄 (nòng) when you intend to express the action of *causing* something to wrinkle. If you just say 皱 (zhòu), it might imply the state of being wrinkled, or a more natural wrinkling, rather than someone actively wrinkling something.
You wouldn't typically use 弄皱 to say 'my clothes are wrinkled'. For that, you'd usually say 我的衣服皱了 (wǒ de yīfu zhòu le) or 我的衣服很皱 (wǒ de yīfu hěn zhòu). 弄皱 emphasizes the action of causing something to become wrinkled.
Not really in common usage. It's quite literal. If you're looking for metaphorical wrinkling, like 'a wrinkled brow' from worry, you'd use 眉头紧锁 (méitóu jǐn suǒ) or simply 皱眉 (zhòuméi).
弄 (nòng) is 4th tone. 皱 (zhòu) is also 4th tone. So, nòng zhòu.
For clothes, 折 (zhé) means 'to fold'. So, you might 'fold' clothes to prevent them from getting 'wrinkled' (弄皱). If something is completely crumpled, you might use 揉 (róu) meaning 'to crumple' or 'to knead', often for paper or fabric.
