越过
You'll often hear 越过 (yuè guò) when talking about moving from one side to another. Think of it like physically crossing a barrier. For example, if you 越过 (yuè guò) a bridge, you're going from one side of the river to the other.
It also means to overcome something, like a difficulty or a challenge. So, if you 越过 (yuè guò) an obstacle, you've successfully gotten past it. This word is very practical for describing movement and overcoming hurdles.
When you want to express the idea of 'crossing over' something, like a river or a mountain, 越过 is the word you'll use. Think of it as moving from one side to the other, often implying an obstacle or a barrier that is being surmounted.
It can also be used in a more abstract sense, like 'overcoming a difficulty' or 'surpassing a limit'. The key idea is moving past a boundary or challenge.
When using “越过” (yuèguò), it's important to understand it implies passing from one side to another, often over an obstacle or boundary. For example, you might use it to describe climbing over a wall or crossing a river. It can also be used metaphorically, such as surmounting a difficulty.
Remember, it focuses on the action of passing over or beyond something. Make sure the context clearly indicates something is being traversed or overcome.

- Use for physically crossing something like a road or river.

§ What 越过 (yuè guò) means
The Chinese verb 越过 (yuè guò) means 'to cross over' or 'to surmount'. It's often used when something goes from one side to another, especially when there's an obstacle or boundary involved. Think of it as passing beyond a point, whether it's a physical barrier or a metaphorical one.
- Definition
- to cross over; to surmount
§ Examples of 越过 (yuè guò) in use
Let's look at some examples to see how 越过 is used in sentences. Pay attention to how it conveys the idea of moving across something.
我们越过了那座山。
This means: We crossed over that mountain. (Wǒmen yuèguò le nà zuò shān.)
他的目光越过人群，看向远方。
This means: His gaze crossed over the crowd, looking into the distance. (Tā de mùguāng yuèguò rénqún, kàn xiàng yuǎnfāng.)
他们成功地越过了所有障碍。
This means: They successfully surmounted all obstacles. (Tāmen chénggōng de yuèguò le suǒyǒu zhàng'ài.)
§ Similar words and when to use 越过 (yuè guò) vs alternatives
Chinese has several words that can seem similar to 越过, but they have subtle differences in usage. Let's break them down:
- 通过 (tōngguò): This word means 'to pass through' or 'to pass by'. It's more general than 越过 and doesn't always imply an obstacle or difficulty. You can pass through a tunnel (通过隧道) or pass an exam (通过考试). While you could say 通过一座山, it doesn't carry the same sense of effort or direct crossing over as 越过一座山.
- 经过 (jīngguò): This means 'to pass by', 'to go through', or 'to undergo'. It often refers to a process or an experience. You might say '经过一个艰难的过程' (to undergo a difficult process). It can also mean to pass by a place, but without the emphasis on crossing an obstacle.
- 翻越 (fānyuè): This is very close to 越过 and also means 'to cross over' or 'to surmount', often with the implication of climbing over something. It literally means 'to turn over and cross'. So, if you're talking about climbing over a wall or a very steep mountain, 翻越 might be a more vivid choice.
火车通过了山洞。
This means: The train passed through the tunnel. (Huǒchē tōngguò le shāndòng.)
我们经过了市中心。
This means: We passed by the city center. (Wǒmen jīngguò le shìzhōngxīn.)
士兵们翻越了敌人的防线。
This means: The soldiers surmounted the enemy's defense line. (Shìbīngmen fānyuè le dírén de fángxiàn.)
When to use 越过: Choose 越过 when you want to emphasize the action of moving from one side to another, especially when there's a clear boundary, a gap, or an obstacle that needs to be overcome. It's often used for physical crossing (mountains, rivers, borders) but can also be used for abstract concepts like overcoming difficulties.
For example, if you're talking about a bird flying over a fence, 越过 is perfect. If you're discussing a runner crossing the finish line, 越过 also fits well. When the act of traversing or surmounting is key, 越过 is your word.

neutralइसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
越过 (yuè guò) means to cross over, go over, or surmount a physical barrier or obstacle. It's often used for things like fences, walls, mountains, or even an imaginary line. It implies movement from one side to another, often with some effort or a sense of overcoming something.
A common mistake is to confuse 越过 with other verbs like 过 (guò) or 穿过 (chuān guò). While all can involve crossing, 越过 specifically implies going over or surmounting something.
For example, you wouldn't typically use 越过 for crossing a road (you'd use 过马路 - guò mǎlù). You also wouldn't use it for passing through a tunnel (you'd use 穿过隧道 - chuān guò suìdào).
Remember, 越过 is about going above or over to get to the other side.

Try to describe how you would 'cross over' a small stream, a mountain, or an obstacle in your path using '越过'. For example, '我越过小溪' (Wǒ yuèguò xiǎoxī - I crossed over the stream) or '我们越过了那座山' (Wǒmen yuèguò le nà zuò shān - We surmounted that mountain).
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालBoth 越过 and 穿过 mean 'to cross', but they have different nuances. 越过 (yuèguò) often implies going over or surmounting an obstacle, like a mountain or a barrier. For example: 他越过高山 (Tā yuèguò gāoshān) - He crossed over the tall mountain. 穿过 (chuānguò) suggests passing through something, like a crowd, a tunnel, or a forest. For example: 我们穿过森林 (Wǒmen chuānguò sēnlín) - We passed through the forest.
While technically you could say '越过马路' (yuèguò mǎlù), it's not the most natural or common way. For crossing a street, 过马路 (guò mǎlù) is much more common and natural. 越过 implies a greater challenge or a more significant obstacle.
Not always literally. 越过 (yuèguò) can also be used figuratively to mean 'to surmount' or 'to overcome' a difficulty or a challenge. For example: 越过困难 (yuèguò kùnnan) - to overcome difficulties.
You can 越过 (yuèguò) physical barriers like: 越过围墙 (yuèguò wéiqiáng) - to cross over a wall; 越过障碍 (yuèguò zhàng'ài) - to surmount an obstacle. You can also use it for more abstract things like: 越过界限 (yuèguò jièxiàn) - to cross a boundary or limit; 越过难关 (yuèguò nánguān) - to get over a tough period.
越过 (yuèguò) is a neutral word. It's not particularly formal or informal. You'll hear it in everyday conversations and see it in written texts.
You can say 越过终点线 (yuèguò zhōngdiǎnxiàn) to mean 'cross the finish line'. This fits well because a finish line can be seen as a boundary or a point you need to get past.
Yes, you can use 越过河流 (yuèguò héliú) to mean 'cross a river', especially if there's an implication of effort or difficulty in crossing it, like swimming across or using a makeshift bridge. However, simply crossing a river by boat might use 过河 (guò hé).
The tone of 越过 (yuèguò) is generally neutral, but it often carries a sense of accomplishment or overcoming when used in the figurative sense. When used literally, it simply describes the action of crossing over.
越过 (yuèguò) primarily implies going 'over' something, which usually results in being on the other side. So, it includes the idea of moving from one side to another by going over an obstacle.
One common phrase is 越过雷池一步 (yuèguò léichí yībù), which literally means 'to take one step over the thunder pool'. It's an idiom that means 'to overstep the bounds' or 'to cross the line'. For example: 你不能越过雷池一步 (Nǐ bùnéng yuèguò léichí yībù) - You cannot cross the line.
