When you hear the word “差事” (chāi shì), you can think of it as a small job or an assignment someone needs to do.
It’s often something that doesn't require a lot of skill, like picking up groceries or delivering a message.
For example, if your friend asks you to help them with something quick, you could call that a “差事”.
It’s a very practical word to describe a task, and it's used often in everyday conversations.
When you're learning Chinese at an A2 level, understanding everyday nouns like 差事 (chāi shì) is really helpful. This word basically means an errand or an assignment, something you need to go out and do.
Think of it as a small task or a duty, often given by someone else. For example, if your boss asks you to pick up some documents, that's a 差事. Or if your mom asks you to go to the store, that's also a 差事.
It's a practical word to know because you'll hear it in many daily conversations. It’s a good word to add to your vocabulary to talk about tasks and responsibilities.
When you're learning Chinese, you'll find that many words have slightly different nuances. Take 差事 (chāishì) for example. While it can mean an 'errand' or 'assignment,' it often implies something a bit mundane, routine, or even a chore. It's not usually used for something exciting or a highly creative project.
Think of it as a task that needs to be done, rather than a passionate pursuit. So, if your boss gives you a new task, you could refer to it as a 差事, especially if it's not the most thrilling part of your job. It's a common term in everyday conversation, so it's good to understand its slight implication of routine or even minor inconvenience.
When using 差事 (chāishì), it refers to a task or duty, often a small or less significant one. It's like being sent out to do something.
For example, if someone asks you to go to the store, that's a 差事. It can also refer to a job or an assignment, but usually one that isn't particularly grand or prestigious.
Think of it as something you're tasked to do. It often implies a sense of obligation or a specific purpose for completing the task.
差事 30 सेकंड में
- Use 差事 to talk about a task or job.
- It can be a small errand or a bigger assignment.
- Often implies something that 'needs to be done'.
§ Understanding 差事 (chāishì)
Alright, let's talk about 差事 (chāishì). This word is your go-to for 'errand' or 'assignment'. Think of it as a specific task someone needs to do, often for someone else or as part of their job. It's not usually a huge, life-changing project, but rather a discrete duty. It can be a simple chore or a more formal task. The key is that it's a task given or undertaken.
- Definition
- Errand; assignment; a specific task or duty, often undertaken for another person or as part of one's work.
§ Basic Sentence Structures with 差事 (chāishì)
You'll often find 差事 (chāishì) used with verbs like 办 (bàn - to do/handle), 跑 (pǎo - to run/go), or 接 (jiē - to take on/receive). These verbs show the action being done regarding the errand or assignment.
§ Doing an errand: 办差事 (bàn chāishì) / 跑差事 (pǎo chāishì)
When you're actively doing or handling an errand, 办差事 (bàn chāishì) or 跑差事 (pǎo chāishì) are common. 办 (bàn) is more about generally handling something, while 跑 (pǎo) suggests going out to do it, often implying movement.
我需要去办差事，一会儿回来。
Wǒ xūyào qù bàn chāishì, yīhuǐr huílái.
(I need to go run an errand, I'll be back in a bit.)
他今天有很多差事要跑。
Tā jīntiān yǒu hěnduō chāishì yào pǎo.
(He has many errands to run today.)
§ Receiving or taking on an assignment: 接差事 (jiē chāishì)
When someone receives or takes on an assignment, use 接差事 (jiē chāishì).
他刚接了一个重要的差事。
Tā gāng jiē le yī ge zhòngyào de chāishì.
(He just took on an important assignment.)
§ Describing 差事 (chāishì)
You can use adjectives to describe the nature of the errand or assignment. Common ones include 辛苦 (xīnkǔ - arduous), 轻松 (qīngsōng - easy), 或 (huò - or), 额外 (éwài - extra), and 重要 (zhòngyào - important).
- 辛苦的差事 (xīnkǔ de chāishì) - arduous errand/assignment
- 轻松的差事 (qīngsōng de chāishì) - easy errand/assignment
- 额外的差事 (éwài de chāishì) - extra errand/assignment
- 重要的差事 (zhòngyào de chāishì) - important assignment
这是一个很辛苦的差事。
Zhè shì yī ge hěn xīnkǔ de chāishì.
(This is a very arduous assignment.)
你有没有什么轻松的差事可以给我？
Nǐ yǒu méiyǒu shénme qīngsōng de chāishì kěyǐ gěi wǒ?
(Do you have any easy errands you can give me?)
§ 差事 (chāishì) in broader contexts
You might also hear 差事 (chāishì) in slightly more formal or historical contexts, referring to official duties or missions. However, for everyday use, stick to 'errand' or 'assignment'.
他被派出去办差事了。
Tā bèi pài chūqù bàn chāishì le.
(He was sent out to do an assignment/mission.)
§ Common pitfalls
One common mistake is overusing 差事 (chāishì) for any 'task'. Remember, it often implies a task that has been assigned or is a duty. For general 'tasks' or 'things to do', you might use 事情 (shìqing) or 任务 (rènwu) if it's a more formal mission or project.
- Don't say
- 我有很多差事要做 (Wǒ yǒu hěnduō chāishì yào zuò) if you mean general 'things to do' around the house. Use 事情 (shìqing) instead.
- Do say
- 我有很多事情要做 (Wǒ yǒu hěnduō shìqing yào zuò) - I have many things to do.
However, if those 'things to do' are specific errands assigned to you, then 差事 (chāishì) is perfectly fine:
妈妈给了我很多差事。
Māma gěi le wǒ hěnduō chāishì.
(Mom gave me many errands.)
Practice using it, and you'll get the hang of the subtle differences! Keep it simple, keep it practical.
§ Where you actually hear this word — work, school, news
Alright, let's get into the practical side of 差事 (chāishì). While the basic definition is 'errand' or 'assignment,' knowing *where* you'll encounter it makes a huge difference. This isn't a word you'll usually use for simple, everyday tasks like 'going to the store.' Instead, it pops up in more specific contexts, often involving a sense of responsibility or duty, and sometimes even implying something a bit bothersome or menial.
§ In the workplace
In a work setting, 差事 is quite common. It refers to tasks or duties assigned to employees. It can be anything from a significant project to a small, less glamorous job. Often, when people refer to a 差事 at work, there's a slight implication that it might not be the most exciting or desirable task, but it's something that needs to be done.
这个差事不容易，需要很多耐心。(This assignment isn't easy, it requires a lot of patience.)
我被派去办一个紧急的差事。(I was sent on an urgent errand/assignment.)
You might also hear it in phrases like 跑差事 (pǎo chāishì), which means to run errands or perform duties, often implying a lot of going around and dealing with various things.
他今天一直在外面跑差事。(He's been out running errands all day.)
§ In school or official contexts
While not as common for typical homework, 差事 can refer to specific tasks or assignments given by teachers or school administration, especially if they are outside the regular curriculum, like helping with an event or delivering something. Think of it as a special duty.
老师派给我一个特别的差事。(The teacher gave me a special assignment.)
In more official or bureaucratic contexts, it can also refer to official duties or tasks delegated to someone, like a government official completing a mission.
§ In news and general conversation
In news reports or general conversations, 差事 can describe tasks or missions, often with a slightly formal or serious tone. It's less likely to be used for casual, everyday discussions of tasks, unless the speaker wants to emphasize the 'task' or 'duty' aspect of it.
完成这个差事对我们很重要。(Completing this assignment is very important for us.)
Sometimes, 差事 can carry a nuance of being a less desirable or even thankless task, especially if someone complains about having to do a particular 差事. It's not always negative, but it can be used to express a bit of a burden.
- Key takeaway
- When you hear 差事, think 'assigned task' or 'duty,' especially one that might require some effort or responsibility, and possibly isn't the most thrilling thing to do. It's about a specific task someone has been given or has to complete.
- Don't use 差事 for casual, personal tasks like 'I need to run an errand to get coffee.' For that, you'd probably use something simpler like '我去买咖啡' (wǒ qù mǎi kāfēi).
- Do use 差事 when talking about work duties, official assignments, or specific tasks that have been delegated.
How Formal Is It?
"他被委派了一项重要任务。(Tā bèi wěipài le yī xiàng zhòngyào rènwù.) - He was assigned an important task."
"我今天有很多差事要办。(Wǒ jīntiān yǒu hěnduō chāishi yào bàn.) - I have a lot of errands to run today."
"这点活儿很快就能干完。(Zhè diǎn huór hěn kuài jiù néng gàn wán.) - This little job can be finished quickly."

"他总是帮老板跑腿。(Tā zǒng shì bāng lǎobǎn pǎotuǐ.) - He's always running errands for the boss."

संज्ञा
इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
差事 (chāishì) refers to an errand or assignment, typically a small task someone is sent to do. It can often imply a task that is a bit mundane or even inconvenient.
While it's a noun, it's frequently used with verbs like 办 (bàn - to do, to handle) or 跑 (pǎo - to run, to go). For example, 办差事 (bàn chāishì) means to run an errand, and 跑差事 (pǎo chāishì) also means to go on an errand, often implying a bit of effort or travel involved.
It can also be used to refer to a job or position, especially one that is not particularly prestigious or is considered temporary. In this context, it often carries a slightly negative or dismissive connotation, suggesting the job is just 'something to do.'
A common mistake is to overuse 差事 for any task. While it means 'task' or 'assignment,' it often implies a specific type of task: a small, often routine errand, or a job that is not particularly desirable. For more general tasks or important assignments, words like 任务 (rènwù - task, mission) or 工作 (gōngzuò - work, job) are usually more appropriate.
Another mistake is to confuse it with 好事 (hǎoshì), which means a good deed or a good thing. While both involve '事' (shì - matter, affair), their meanings are quite different. 差事 usually doesn't carry a moral judgment of 'good' or 'bad' like 好事 does; it's more about the nature of the task itself.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालThe pinyin for '差事' is chāi shì. It's important to get the tone right: 'chāi' is a first tone (high and level) and 'shì' is a fourth tone (falling). Practicing with a native speaker or a pronunciation app can really help.
While both can mean 'task' or 'assignment,' '差事' (chāi shì) often implies a smaller, more casual errand or a less significant task. '任务' (rènwù) usually refers to a more formal, important, or larger mission or assignment, often with a clear objective. For example, picking up groceries might be a '差事,' but completing a major project at work would be a '任务'.
No, generally not. '差事' (chāi shì) specifically refers to an errand or a task. For a job or employment, you'd use words like '工作' (gōngzuò) or '职业' (zhíyè). It's not interchangeable with 'job' in the sense of employment.
Yes, '差事' (chāi shì) is a fairly common word in everyday Chinese conversation, especially when talking about small tasks or errands. You'll hear it quite often.
You might hear phrases like '跑差事' (pǎo chāi shì), which means 'to run errands,' or '办差事' (bàn chāi shì), which means 'to handle an assignment' or 'to do a task.' These are very practical uses of the word.
Not inherently. '差事' (chāi shì) itself is neutral. However, sometimes if someone is complaining about doing a lot of '差事,' it might imply that they feel burdened by many small tasks. But the word itself isn't negative.
Yes, it can. If a friend asks you to do something for them, like picking up their dry cleaning, you could refer to it as a '差事' (chāi shì) you're doing for them. It fits the idea of a small task or errand.
Focus on the context. If it's a relatively minor, often non-professional, and perhaps informal task or errand, '差事' (chāi shì) is a good fit. If it's more formal, official, or a larger responsibility, other words like '任务' (rènwù) or '工作' (gōngzuò) would be more appropriate.
'差事' (chāi shì) leans more towards informal usage. While not slang, it's commonly used in everyday speech and less so in very formal documents or academic writing. It's suitable for casual conversations.
Yes, it can definitely refer to a chore, especially if it's a small household task or something you're obliged to do. For example, doing the dishes could be considered a '差事' (chāi shì). It aligns well with the concept of an errand or a small assignment.
