The Chinese verb 带来 (dàilái) means 'to bring.' It's commonly used to express the action of bringing something or someone to a particular place or situation.
You can use 带来 when talking about bringing objects, like 'I brought a gift' (我带来一个礼物). It can also be used for bringing people, such as 'He brought his friend' (他带来他的朋友).
Beyond physical objects or people, 带来 can also refer to bringing about a certain effect or result. For example, 'This change brought many benefits' (这个改变带来很多好处).
Remember that the object being brought usually follows 带来 directly.
§ Understanding '带来'
- DEFINITION
- to bring
The Chinese word 带来 (dài lái) is a common verb that means "to bring." It's pretty straightforward, but like many Chinese words, understanding how to use it correctly in different contexts will make your spoken and written Chinese sound much more natural. It's often used when something or someone causes a result, effect, or object to come into existence or be present.
Think of it as bringing something physically, like a present, or bringing about a situation, like bringing good luck. It's a versatile word, and you'll hear it a lot in everyday conversations.
§ Basic Sentence Structure
The most basic way to use 带来 is: Subject + 带来 + Object.
我带来了我的书。
Translation hint: I brought my book.
他带来了礼物。
Translation hint: He brought gifts.
§ Bringing About Effects or Results
Beyond just bringing physical objects, 带来 is very commonly used to talk about something causing or bringing about a certain effect, result, or situation. This is where it gets really useful.
这个项目带来了很大的变化。
Translation hint: This project brought big changes.
新的政策会带来什么影响？
Translation hint: What impact will the new policy bring?
他的努力带来了成功。
Translation hint: His efforts brought success.
§ With Prepositions and Directional Complements (Less Common with 带来 Directly)
While you can use prepositions with verbs like 拿 (ná - to take/hold) or 送 (sòng - to give/send), 带来 usually already implies the direction "to here." Therefore, you generally won't combine it with other directional complements like 到 (dào - to/arrive) in the same way you might with other verbs. If you want to specify a destination, you usually do it before 带来, or structure the sentence differently.
- Incorrect/Awkward: 我带来到你家一个蛋糕。(Wo dai lai dao ni jia yi ge dangao.)
- Correct: 我给你家带来了一个蛋糕。(Wǒ gěi nǐ jiā dài lái le yī gè dàngāo.)
Translation hint: I brought a cake to your house.
§ Common Phrases with '带来'
Here are some common phrases where 带来 is often used:
- 带来好处 (dài lái hǎo chù): to bring benefits
学习中文会带来很多好处。
Translation hint: Learning Chinese will bring many benefits.
- 带来麻烦 (dài lái má fan): to bring trouble

- 带来希望 (dài lái xī wàng): to bring hope
他的一番话给人们带来了希望。
Translation hint: His words brought hope to people.
§ 带来 vs. 带去 (dài qù)
It's helpful to compare 带来 with 带去 (dài qù). While 带来 means "to bring (to here)," 带去 means "to take (away from here)" or "to bring (to there)." The difference lies in the direction of the action relative to the speaker or a reference point.
- 带来 (dài lái): movement towards the speaker/reference point.
- 带去 (dài qù): movement away from the speaker/reference point.
请把这本书带来。
Translation hint: Please bring this book (here).
请把这本书带去给他。
Translation hint: Please take this book to him (there).
Mastering 带来 will significantly improve your ability to express actions and their consequences in Chinese. Practice using it in various contexts, both for physical objects and abstract concepts, and you'll soon use it naturally.

Often confused with '带来' (dài lái) because both relate to bringing. However, '带' is a more general verb meaning 'to carry' or 'to take along,' while '带来' specifically emphasizes the action of bringing something to a particular place or person.
'带' can be used on its own, like '带伞' (dài sǎn - carry an umbrella). '带来' implies movement towards the speaker or a specified location, like '把书带来' (bǎ shū dài lái - bring the book here).
他今天没带伞。 (Tā jīn tiān méi dài sǎn.) - He didn't bring an umbrella today. / 请你带来一些水。 (Qǐng nǐ dài lái yì xiē shuǐ.) - Please bring some water.
Similar to '带来' in that both mean to bring something. The confusion lies in the subtle difference in the action implied. '拿' implies using hands to pick up or hold something.
'带来' (dài lái) suggests a more general act of conveying or transporting something. '拿来' (ná lái) emphasizes the physical act of fetching something with one's hands and bringing it. You can '带来' abstract concepts, but you '拿来' physical objects.
请把那本书拿来。 (Qǐng bǎ nà běn shū ná lái.) - Please bring that book (by fetching it). / 这次旅行带来了很多乐趣。 (Zhè cì lǚxíng dài lái le hěn duō lèqù.) - This trip brought a lot of fun.
Both imply delivering something to a location. The confusion comes from the nuance of 'giving' or 'sending' involved in '送来'.
'带来' (dài lái) is more neutral, simply meaning to transport something to a place. '送来' (sòng lái) often implies a delivery service, a gift, or an act of sending something specifically to someone or somewhere.
快递员把包裹送来了。 (Kuàidìyuán bǎ bāoguǒ sòng lái le.) - The courier brought (delivered) the package. / 你带来了什么？ (Nǐ dài lái le shénme?) - What did you bring?
When '带来' is used to mean 'to cause' or 'to lead to' (especially with abstract nouns like problems or changes), it can be confused with '引起', which also means 'to cause' or 'to arouse'.
'带来' (dài lái) often emphasizes the *consequence* or *result* that is brought about. '引起' (yǐn qǐ) emphasizes the *action* of causing something to happen, often a reaction or a situation. '带来' can be more general in meaning 'to result in', while '引起' is more about initiating something.
这场雨带来了很多麻烦。 (Zhè chǎng yǔ dài lái le hěn duō máfan.) - This rain brought (caused) a lot of trouble. / 他的话引起了争论。 (Tā de huà yǐn qǐ le zhēnglùn.) - His words caused (aroused) a debate.
Like '引起', '导致' also means 'to lead to' or 'to cause', particularly when referring to negative outcomes. This creates confusion with '带来' when '带来' is used in a similar causal sense.
'带来' (dài lái) can be used for both positive and negative consequences. '导致' (dǎo zhì) is almost exclusively used for negative outcomes or serious consequences. It carries a stronger sense of blame or direct causation for an undesirable situation.
他的迟到导致了会议的延误。 (Tā de chídào dǎo zhì le huìyì de yánwù.) - His lateness led to (caused) the delay of the meeting. / 努力学习会带来好成绩。 (Nǔlì xuéxí huì dài lái hǎo chéngjì.) - Hard study will bring (lead to) good grades.

Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic (Chinese)सांस्कृतिक संदर्भ
When offering something, such as a gift or food, it's common to use 带来. For example, '我给你带来了一些水果' (Wǒ gěi nǐ dài lái le yī xiē shuǐguǒ - I brought you some fruit). It's also used in more abstract senses, like '带来好运' (dài lái hǎo yùn - to bring good luck) or '带来改变' (dài lái gǎibiàn - to bring change), highlighting its versatility in expressing the introduction or consequence of something.
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवाल带来 (dài lái) specifically means 'to bring here' or 'to bring to this place,' emphasizing the direction towards the speaker or a designated location. 带 (dài) is more general and can mean 'to take,' 'to carry,' or 'to bring' without necessarily implying a specific direction.
Yes, absolutely! 带来 is very commonly used for abstract concepts. For example, 你带来很多快乐 (Nǐ dài lái hěn duō kuài lè) - You bring a lot of happiness. 气候变化带来了很多问题 (Qìhòu biànhuà dài lái le hěn duō wèn tí) - Climate change has brought many problems.
The structure is usually Subject + 带来 + Object. For example, 我带来了一本书 (Wǒ dài lái le yī běn shū) - I brought a book. 他带来了好消息 (Tā dài lái le hǎo xiāo xi) - He brought good news.
Not always. While it can certainly mean physically bringing something, as we discussed, it also frequently refers to the consequence or result of an action, like 'bringing about' something. For instance, 努力会带来成功 (Nǔlì huì dài lái chénggōng) - Effort will bring success.
You can say Subject + 带来 + Object + 给 + Person, or Subject + 给 + Person + 带来 + Object. For example, 我带来一本书给你 (Wǒ dài lái yī běn shū gěi nǐ) or 我给你带来一本书 (Wǒ gěi nǐ dài lái yī běn shū) - I brought a book for you.
Some common phrases include: 带来好处 (dài lái hǎo chù) - to bring benefits; 带来麻烦 (dài lái má fán) - to bring trouble; 带来变化 (dài lái biàn huà) - to bring changes; 带来希望 (dài lái xī wàng) - to bring hope.
Yes, absolutely. For example, 你带来了什么？ (Nǐ dài lái le shén me?) - What did you bring? 这样做会带来什么结果？ (Zhè yàng zuò huì dài lái shén me jié guǒ?) - What results will doing this bring?
It can be used in negative contexts, but 带来 itself is neutral. The connotation comes from the object it's bringing. For instance, 战争带来了痛苦 (Zhànzhēng dài lái le tòng kǔ) - War brought suffering. Here, the suffering is negative, but 带来 is just describing the action.
No, 带来 is not a separable verb. You can't separate 带 and 来 with other words in between them.
If you want to emphasize 'bringing back,' you would typically use 带回来 (dài huí lái). For example, 我带回来一些纪念品 (Wǒ dài huí lái yī xiē jì niàn pǐn) - I brought back some souvenirs. 带来 specifically means 'to bring here,' so 'back' isn't inherently part of it.
