胶囊

jiāonáng

You might know the English word "capsule." In Chinese, the word for capsule is 胶囊 (jiāonáng).

It can refer to a small, soluble case containing medicine, like a pill. For example, you might say, "Take two 胶囊 after meals."

胶囊 can also mean a small, enclosed space, like a space capsule or a sleeping pod. Imagine a very compact and self-contained unit.

So, next time you see medicine or a compact pod, you'll know the word 胶囊!

胶囊 30 सेकंड में

  • Capsules are common for medicine.
  • They dissolve in your body.
  • You might also see them for supplements.

§ Basic Usage

The word 胶囊 (jiāonáng) directly translates to 'capsule'. It's a noun. Think of it like an English noun; you can use it to refer to a pill capsule, a space capsule, or even a 'time capsule'. The most common use you'll encounter at an A2 level will be referring to medication capsules.

§ Referring to Medication Capsules

When you're talking about medicine, 胶囊 is very straightforward. You often use a measure word like 粒 (lì) or 颗 (kē) which means 'grain' or 'piece' for small, roundish objects. However, you can also just say numbers directly before 胶囊, especially if the context is clear.

请给我一粒胶囊。

Translation Hint
Please give me one capsule.

医生开了三颗胶囊。

Translation Hint
The doctor prescribed three capsules.

§ 'Space Capsule' or 'Time Capsule'

Beyond medicine, 胶囊 is used for other types of capsules too. You combine it with other words to create specific meanings. This is a common pattern in Chinese: combine two simpler words to make a more complex one.

  • 太空胶囊 (tàikōng jiāonáng) - Space capsule
  • 时间胶囊 (shíjiān jiāonáng) - Time capsule

宇航员乘坐太空胶囊返回地球。

Translation Hint
The astronaut returned to Earth in a space capsule.

我们埋了一个时间胶囊。

Translation Hint
We buried a time capsule.

§ Verbs to use with 胶囊

When you're taking medicine, common verbs include:

  • 吃 (chī) - to eat/take (for medicine)
  • 服用 (fúyòng) - to take (medicine), more formal

每天吃两粒胶囊。

Translation Hint
Take two capsules daily.

请按时服用胶囊。

Translation Hint
Please take the capsules on time.

The key is to remember that 胶囊 behaves like a regular noun. Just like in English, you'll pair it with verbs for actions and other nouns to specify its type. Practice using it in simple sentences and don't be afraid to combine it with other vocabulary you know.

Let's talk about the Chinese word 胶囊 (jiāonáng). It's a straightforward word, but knowing how it's used and when to pick it over other words can make your Chinese sound much more natural.

§ What does 胶囊 mean?

DEFINITION
Capsule. This can be a medical capsule (like a pill) or a small, enclosed space, sometimes metaphorical.

Most of the time, when you hear or use 胶囊, you're probably talking about medicine.

我需要吃两粒胶囊。

Translation hint: I need to take two capsules.

这种药是胶囊形式的。

Translation hint: This medicine is in capsule form.

§ Beyond Medicine: Other Uses of 胶囊

While medicine is the primary context, 胶囊 can also refer to other small, enclosed units.

  • 太空胶囊 (tàikōng jiāonáng): Space capsule.
  • 时间胶囊 (shíjiān jiāonáng): Time capsule.

我们把信放进了时间胶囊。

Translation hint: We put the letter into the time capsule.

§ 胶囊 vs. Other Words for Pills/Tablets

This is where it gets interesting. Chinese has a few words for medication, and choosing the right one matters.

  • 药片 (yàopiàn): This refers specifically to a tablet, something flat and solid that you swallow. Think of aspirin or most common pain relievers.
  • 药丸 (yàowán): This is a small, round pill. Often used for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) or smaller, more spherical modern pills.
  • 药 (yào): This is the general term for medicine. It can refer to any form of medication – pills, liquid, powder, etc.

Here's how to think about them:

  • If it's a solid, cylindrical or oval casing with powder or liquid inside, use 胶囊.
  • If it's a flat, usually round or oval, solid piece of medicine, use 药片.
  • If it's a small, round, solid ball of medicine, use 药丸.
  • If you're talking about medicine in general, or you don't know the exact form, use 药.

医生给我开了这种胶囊，不是药片。

Translation hint: The doctor prescribed this capsule for me, not a tablet.

So, next time you're talking about your meds or even a time capsule, you'll know exactly when to use 胶囊.
