着凉
When we say 着凉 (zháo liáng) in Chinese, it means to catch a cold or to get chilled. It's a very common verb you'll hear, especially when people are talking about their health or the weather. Think of it as a direct way to say you're feeling under the weather because you got too cold.
For example, if you didn't wear enough clothes and now you're sneezing, you could say你着凉了 (nǐ zháo liáng le), meaning 'You caught a cold.'
When we say someone has 着凉 (zháo liáng), it means they have caught a cold due to exposure to cold, like not wearing enough layers. It's often used when talking about getting sick from the cold weather. For example, if you go out in winter without a coat, you might 着凉.
It implies the cold is the direct cause of the sickness. You can use it to talk about yourself or others.
When we say someone has 着凉 (zháo liáng), it means they've caught a cold, usually due to exposure to cold or changes in weather. It’s a common way to express falling ill with a cold.
This phrase often implies that the cold was caused by external factors like not wearing enough warm clothes or being in a drafty place. For example, if you stood in the rain too long, you might 说你着凉了 (shuō nǐ zháo liáng le) – say you caught a cold.
It's distinct from just feeling cold (感到冷 gǎndào lěng) because it specifically refers to the act of catching an illness. So, if your friend is sneezing, you might ask, “你是不是着凉了？” (Nǐ shì bu shì zháo liáng le?) – "Did you catch a cold?"

- Common way to say 'catch a cold'.
- Often implies the cold was due to cold weather.
- Used in everyday conversation.
§ Basic Usage of 着凉
着凉 (zhuó liáng) means 'to catch a cold'. It's a common verb in Chinese. You'll hear it a lot, especially during seasonal changes or when someone is feeling under the weather. It directly translates to catching a cold due to exposure to cold, rather than getting sick in general from, say, a virus. Think of it as feeling the chill.
- Structure
- Subject + 着凉 + (了)
The '了 (le)' at the end is often used to indicate a completed action or a change of state, which is common when talking about getting sick. It's not always mandatory, but it sounds more natural.
我昨天晚上着凉了。
Here, '我 (wǒ)' is 'I', '昨天晚上 (zuótiān wǎnshang)' is 'last night', and '着凉了 (zhuó liáng le)' means 'caught a cold'. Simple as that.
你是不是着凉了？
This translates to 'Did you catch a cold?'. It's a common way to ask someone if they are feeling unwell. '是不是 (shì bù shì)' is a way to form a yes/no question, similar to 'aren't you?' or 'is it that...?'
§ Adding Detail: How you caught a cold
You can specify how you caught a cold using '因为 (yīnwèi)' (because) or by placing the reason before '着凉'.
- Structure
- Subject + 因为 (yīnwèi) + Reason + 着凉了
他因为没穿外套而着凉了。
Here, '他 (tā)' is 'he', '因为 (yīnwèi)' is 'because', '没穿外套 (méi chuān wàitào)' is 'didn't wear a coat', and '而 (ér)' is a conjunction meaning 'and as a result'. This translates to 'He caught a cold because he didn't wear a coat.'
- Structure
- Subject + Reason + 才 (cái) + 着凉了
The '才 (cái)' here adds a nuance of 'only then' or 'it was only because of... that...'. It emphasizes the reason.
她晚上睡觉没盖被子，才着凉了。
This sentence means 'She didn't cover herself with a quilt when sleeping last night, and that's why she caught a cold.' '晚上睡觉没盖被子 (wǎnshang shuìjiào méi gài bèizi)' is 'sleeping last night without a blanket.'
§ Avoiding 着凉: Tips and Warnings
You can also use '着凉' in a preventative context, advising someone not to catch a cold.
- Structure
- 别 (bié) / 不要 (bú yào) + 着凉
天气冷了，多穿点衣服，别着凉了。
This common advice means 'It's getting cold, wear more clothes, don't catch a cold.' '天气冷了 (tiānqì lěng le)' is 'the weather is cold', and '多穿点衣服 (duō chuān diǎn yīfu)' is 'wear a bit more clothes'.
晚上睡觉不要开窗户，以免着凉。
Here, '晚上睡觉不要开窗户 (wǎnshang shuìjiào bú yào kāi chuānghu)' means 'don't open the window when sleeping at night', and '以免 (yǐmiǎn)' means 'in order to avoid'. The sentence translates to 'Don't open the window when sleeping at night, so you don't catch a cold.'
§ More Examples for Context
Here are a few more ways to see '着凉' in action:
他洗完澡没擦干就出来了，很容易着凉。
He came out without drying himself after taking a shower, it's very easy to catch a cold. ('洗完澡没擦干 (xǐ wán zǎo méi cā gān)' means 'didn't dry after shower', '很容易 (hěn róngyì)' means 'very easy').
医生说我是因为吹空调才着凉的。
The doctor said I caught a cold because of the air conditioning. ('医生说 (yīshēng shuō)' is 'the doctor said', '吹空调 (chuī kōngtiáo)' is 'blow air conditioning').
你看起来有点不舒服，是不是着凉了？
You look a little uncomfortable, did you catch a cold? ('看起来有点不舒服 (kàn qǐlái yǒudiǎn bù shūfu)' means 'looks a bit uncomfortable').
As you can see, '着凉' is quite versatile and essential for discussing health in Chinese. Pay attention to the context and the accompanying particles like '了' or adverbs like '才' to fully grasp its meaning in sentences.

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
着凉 (zháo liáng) means 'to catch a cold' or 'to catch a chill.' It specifically refers to the act of getting cold, often due to being exposed to cold air or not dressing warmly enough, which then leads to developing cold-like symptoms. It's a common everyday verb.
A common mistake is confusing 着凉 with simply being cold (冷, lěng). 着凉 implies catching an illness because of the cold, while 冷 just describes the sensation of being cold.
Another mistake is using it interchangeably with a diagnosis of 'having a cold' (感冒, gǎnmào). While 着凉 can lead to 感冒, they are not the same thing. 着凉 is the cause, 感冒 is the effect.
Incorrect: 我很着凉了。(Wǒ hěn zháo liáng le.) - This is grammatically awkward. You would usually say: 我着凉了。(Wǒ zháo liáng le.) meaning 'I caught a cold.'
Incorrect: 我的手着凉了。(Wǒ de shǒu zháo liáng le.) - You wouldn't say a part of your body 'caught a cold' in this way. You'd say: 我的手很冷。(Wǒ de shǒu hěn lěng.) - My hands are cold.

2. 小心别着凉了！(Be careful not to catch a cold!)
着凉 (zháo liáng) specifically means 'to catch a cold,' often implying the initial cause like getting chilled. 感冒 (gǎn mào) is the general term for 'a cold' or 'flu,' referring to the illness itself. So, you 着凉 and then you get 感冒.
着凉 is pretty much exclusively used for catching a cold due to being exposed to cold, damp, or windy conditions. It's not used for a general feeling of being chilled or cold.
It's a very common and natural way to say 'to catch a cold' in everyday spoken Chinese. It's neither particularly formal nor informal.
To prevent 着凉, you could say:
1. 多穿点衣服，别着凉了。(Wear more clothes, don't catch a cold.)

1. 他昨天晚上没盖被子，可能着凉了。(He didn't cover himself with a blanket last night, he might have caught a cold.)
2. 孩子着凉了，有点儿咳嗽。(The child caught a cold and has a bit of a cough.)
着凉 implies the initial discomfort or symptoms that come from exposure to cold, like feeling chilly, a runny nose, or a slight cough, before it develops into a full-blown cold (感冒).
It's a neutral and descriptive term. You'll hear it often in concerned advice from friends or family, like '别着凉了!' (Don't catch a cold!).
While 感冒 (gǎn mào) means 'to have a cold,' 着凉 (zháo liáng) is specifically about the act of catching it. If you want to say you have a cold, you'd usually say 我感冒了 (wǒ gǎn mào le).
No, 着凉 is a verb, meaning 'to catch a cold.' You wouldn't use it as a noun. If you want to refer to 'a cold' as a noun, you'd use 感冒 (gǎn mào).

"不小心着凉" (bù xiǎo xīn zháo liáng) means 'to accidentally catch a cold'. "无意中受寒" (wú yì zhōng shòu hán) means 'to unintentionally get cold/exposed to cold', which is very close in meaning. The other options imply intentionality or active seeking of cold, which is incorrect.
