打扫干净

dǎsǎo gānjìng

When you want to say “to clean thoroughly” or “to clean up” in Chinese, you can use 打扫干净 (dǎsǎo gānjìng). This verb phrase combines two parts: 打扫 (dǎsǎo), meaning “to clean” or “to sweep,” and 干净 (gānjìng), meaning “clean.” So, literally, it means “clean until it’s clean.”

It’s often used when you are talking about cleaning a room, a house, or any space that needs a good, complete cleaning. For example, if your room is messy, your mom might tell you to 打扫干净 your room.

Remember that 干净 here acts as a complement, indicating the result of the action of cleaning. So, you are cleaning, and the result is that something becomes clean.

When you want to express the idea of cleaning something completely, use 打扫干净 (dǎsǎo gānjìng). The character 打扫 (dǎsǎo) means 'to clean' or 'to sweep,' and 干净 (gānjìng) means 'clean' or 'neat.' Together, they emphasize a thorough cleaning, making sure there's no dirt or mess left.

You can use this phrase for cleaning rooms, houses, or even offices. It implies a complete job, not just a quick tidy-up. For instance, if your room is very messy, you would say you need to 打扫干净 it. It's a very practical phrase for everyday situations.

§ Understanding 打扫干净

Let's break down 打扫干净. It's a verb phrase that literally means 'to sweep clean' or 'to clean until it's clean.' The key here is the resultative complement 干净 (gānjìng), which means 'clean.' This construction is super common in Chinese, where a verb is followed by an adjective or another verb to show the result of the action. So, it's not just 'to clean,' it's 'to clean thoroughly' or 'to clean until it's clean.'

§ Basic Sentence Structure with 打扫干净

The most straightforward way to use 打扫干净 is to put it after the subject, just like many other verbs in Chinese. You'll often see it referring to cleaning rooms, houses, or specific areas.

我需要把我的房间打扫干净

Translation Hint
Wǒ xūyào bǎ wǒ de fángjiān dǎsǎo gānjìng. (I need to clean thoroughly my room.)

Notice the '把' (bǎ) construction in the example. This is very common when you want to emphasize what happened to the object of the verb. In this case, the room (房间) is being acted upon.

请你把桌子打扫干净

Translation Hint
Qǐng nǐ bǎ zhuōzi dǎsǎo gānjìng. (Please clean thoroughly the table.)

§ Using with Time and Location

You can also specify when or where the cleaning happens. Time expressions usually go before the verb or at the very beginning of the sentence. Location can be indicated with prepositions like 在 (zài).

他昨天把厨房打扫干净了。

Translation Hint
Tā zuótiān bǎ chúfáng dǎsǎo gānjìng le. (He cleaned thoroughly the kitchen yesterday.)

The '了' (le) at the end indicates that the action is completed.

妈妈让我在周末把客厅打扫干净

Translation Hint
Māmā ràng wǒ zài zhōumò bǎ kètīng dǎsǎo gānjìng. (Mom asked me to clean thoroughly the living room on the weekend.)

§ Questions with 打扫干净

Asking questions with 打扫干净 is straightforward. You can use question words like 吗 (ma) or interrogative pronouns like 谁 (shéi - who), 哪里 (nǎlǐ - where).

  • Using 吗 (ma) for yes/no questions:

你把房间打扫干净了吗?

Translation Hint
Nǐ bǎ fángjiān dǎsǎo gānjìng le ma? (Have you cleaned thoroughly the room?)
  • Using interrogative pronouns:

谁把这里打扫干净了?

Translation Hint
Shéi bǎ zhèlǐ dǎsǎo gānjìng le? (Who cleaned thoroughly here?)

§ Common Mistakes to Avoid

The biggest mistake is usually forgetting the '干净' (gānjìng). If you just say 打扫 (dǎsǎo), it means 'to sweep' or 'to clean,' but it doesn't necessarily imply the result of being clean. Adding 干净 (gānjìng) emphasizes that the cleaning was completed and successful.

Another common error is misplacing time or location words. Remember, these usually come before the main verb phrase or at the beginning of the sentence. The '把' (bǎ) structure also has its specific word order: Subject + 把 + Object + Verb + Resultative Complement.

Keep practicing these structures, and you'll get the hang of it!

§ What 打扫干净 Means

The Chinese phrase “打扫干净” (dǎsǎo gānjìng) literally means “to sweep clean,” but it's used more broadly to mean “to clean thoroughly.” You can use it for almost anything that needs a good scrub, wipe, or tidy up. It emphasizes that the cleaning job is complete and effective.

Definition
to clean thoroughly

§ Using 打扫干净 at Home

This is where you'll hear “打扫干净” most often. Whether you're talking about your own chores or asking someone else to clean, this phrase is perfect for describing a complete cleaning job.

我需要把房间打扫干净才能休息。

(Wǒ xūyào bǎ fángjiān dǎsǎo gānjìng cáinéng xiūxí. - I need to clean the room thoroughly before I can rest.)

请你把厨房打扫干净

(Qǐng nǐ bǎ chúfáng dǎsǎo gānjìng. - Please clean the kitchen thoroughly.)

§ At Work and School

“打扫干净” isn't just for homes. You'll hear it in workplaces, schools, and any public spaces where cleanliness is important. For example, a supervisor might tell employees to clean their workstations, or a teacher might remind students to clean the classroom.

  • In an office: Your boss might say:

    下班前请把桌面打扫干净

    (Xiàbān qián qǐng bǎ zhuōmiàn dǎsǎo gānjìng. - Please clean your desk thoroughly before leaving work.)

  • In a school: A teacher could instruct:

    轮到你们组把教室打扫干净了。

    (Lúndào nǐmen zǔ bǎ jiàoshì dǎsǎo gānjìng le. - It's your group's turn to clean the classroom thoroughly.)

§ In the News and Public Announcements

While less common than in daily conversation, “打扫干净” can appear in news reports or public service announcements, especially when talking about environmental cleanliness or disaster recovery efforts. For example, after a big event or a natural disaster, officials might talk about cleaning up the area.

市民们共同努力,把公园打扫干净了。

(Shìmínmen gòngtóng nǔlì, bǎ gōngyuán dǎsǎo gānjìng le. - The citizens worked together to clean the park thoroughly.)

This shows the versatility of “打扫干净” – it's not just about a quick tidy-up, but a complete cleaning process that leaves something spotless.

Means 'to wipe' or 'to rub'. It's a method of cleaning, but not the general action of 'cleaning thoroughly'.

Grammar Patterns

Resultative Complement “干净” (gānjìng): Indicates the result of the action (打扫 dǎsǎo, to clean) is that the object becomes clean. “把” (bǎ) construction: Used to bring the object of the verb to the front of the sentence, emphasizing the action performed on it. “被” (bèi) construction: Used for passive voice, indicating the object is acted upon. Negation with “没” (méi): Used to negate past actions, indicating something was not done or not done thoroughly. Adverb “已经” (yǐjīng): Means “already,” indicating an action has been completed. Verb-object separation: While 打扫干净 is a fixed phrase, understanding that 干净 is a resultative complement helps with other similar structures. Modal verb “需要” (xūyào): Means “need to” or “have to,” indicating a requirement. Modal verb “应该” (yīnggāi): Means “should,” indicating a recommendation or obligation.

Easily Confused

打扫干净 vs 打扫 (dǎsǎo)

Often confused with '打扫干净' because learners might think '打扫' already implies thoroughness. However, '打扫' simply means to sweep or clean, without the explicit implication of being 'clean' or 'thorough'.

打扫 (dǎsǎo) means to sweep or clean. 打扫干净 (dǎsǎo gānjìng) adds the resultative complement 干净 (gānjìng), explicitly stating that the cleaning is thorough or completed to a clean state.

我需要打扫我的房间。 (Wǒ xūyào dǎsǎo wǒ de fángjiān.) - I need to clean my room. (Could still be a bit messy after.) 我已经把房间打扫干净了。 (Wǒ yǐjīng bǎ fángjiān dǎsǎo gānjìng le.) - I have already cleaned the room thoroughly. (It's now spick and span.)

打扫干净 vs 清理 (qīnglǐ)

Both '清理' and '打扫干净' involve cleaning. Learners might struggle to distinguish the nuance.

清理 (qīnglǐ) often implies clearing out, tidying up, or getting rid of clutter, not necessarily a deep clean. It can also refer to things like clearing out a computer's cache. 打扫干净 (dǎsǎo gānjìng) specifically means to clean until it's spotless.

他正在清理他的书桌。 (Tā zhèngzài qīnglǐ tā de shūzhuō.) - He is clearing up his desk. (Organizing, not necessarily scrubbing.) 请把地板打扫干净。 (Qǐng bǎ dìbǎn dǎsǎo gānjìng.) - Please clean the floor thoroughly.

打扫干净 vs 清洗 (qīngxǐ)

Both words involve making something clean, leading to potential mix-ups, especially for objects.

清洗 (qīngxǐ) specifically refers to washing, often with water or liquid, and is usually for objects like clothes, dishes, or vehicles. 打扫干净 (dǎsǎo gānjìng) is more general and can apply to rooms, surfaces, or areas.

我需要清洗我的衣服。 (Wǒ xūyào qīngxǐ wǒ de yīfu.) - I need to wash my clothes. 厨房被打扫干净了。 (Chúfáng bèi dǎsǎo gānjìng le.) - The kitchen was cleaned thoroughly.

打扫干净 vs 弄干净 (nòng gānjìng)

Structurally similar with '干净' at the end, making learners think they are interchangeable.

弄干净 (nòng gānjìng) is a more general phrase meaning 'to make clean' or 'to get something clean'. It's often used when the method of cleaning isn't specified or when implying a broader action to achieve cleanliness. 打扫干净 (dǎsǎo gānjìng) is specifically about sweeping or cleaning an area/surface until it's clean.

你可以把桌子弄干净吗? (Nǐ kěyǐ bǎ zhuōzi nòng gānjìng ma?) - Can you get the table clean? (Could be wiping, scrubbing, etc.) 我会把院子打扫干净。 (Wǒ huì bǎ yuànzi dǎsǎo gānjìng.) - I will sweep the yard clean.

打扫干净 vs 整理 (zhěnglǐ)

Sometimes when you '整理' (organize), things also get '干净' (clean), so learners might confuse the main action.

整理 (zhěnglǐ) means to organize, arrange, or put in order. While organizing might involve some minor cleaning, its primary focus is on orderliness. 打扫干净 (dǎsǎo gānjìng) is explicitly about removing dirt and making something spotless.

我需要整理我的房间。 (Wǒ xūyào zhěnglǐ wǒ de fángjiān.) - I need to organize my room. (Putting things away neatly.) 房间需要打扫干净。 (Fángjiān xūyào dǎsǎo gānjìng.) - The room needs to be cleaned thoroughly.

Frequently Asked Questions

10 questions

While "打扫" (dǎsǎo) means 'to clean' or 'to sweep,' adding "干净" (gānjìng) literally translates to 'clean' or 'thoroughly clean.' So, "打扫干净" emphasizes that the cleaning job has been completed to a satisfactory, spotless standard. Think of it as the difference between 'I cleaned' and 'I cleaned it sparkling clean.'

Yes, you can use "打扫干净" for various things that need a thorough cleaning. For example, you can use it for:

  • "把桌子打扫干净" (bǎ zhuōzi dǎsǎo gānjìng) - to clean the table thoroughly
  • "把车打扫干净" (bǎ chē dǎsǎo gānjìng) - to clean the car thoroughly
It's generally for physical spaces or objects that accumulate dirt and need to be tidied up.

Yes, another common phrase is "彻底打扫" (chèdǐ dǎsǎo), which also means 'to clean thoroughly' or 'to clean completely.' "彻底" (chèdǐ) means 'thorough' or 'complete.' While both are correct, "打扫干净" is perhaps more frequently used in everyday conversation to describe the result of the cleaning.

You can use "打扫干净" as a verb phrase. Here are a couple of examples:

  • "我把房间打扫干净了." (Wǒ bǎ fángjiān dǎsǎo gānjìng le.) - I cleaned the room thoroughly.
  • "请你把厨房打扫干净." (Qǐng nǐ bǎ chúfáng dǎsǎo gānjìng.) - Please clean the kitchen thoroughly.

Absolutely! "打扫得很干净" (dǎsǎo de hěn gānjìng) is a very natural and common way to express that something was cleaned very thoroughly or to a high standard. The "得" (de) particle here indicates the degree or result of the action.

The tone of "打扫干净" is straightforward and practical. It simply describes the action of cleaning something thoroughly. It doesn't carry any strong emotional connotation, just a statement of a completed task to a good standard.

No, "打扫干净" is specifically for cleaning spaces or objects. For cleaning yourself, you would use verbs like "洗澡" (xǐzǎo) for showering or "洗脸" (xǐliǎn) for washing your face.

It's a very common and neutral phrase, suitable for both formal and informal contexts. You'd hear it in everyday conversations, and it would also be appropriate in more formal settings when discussing cleaning tasks.

If you just want to say 'to clean' without the emphasis on thoroughness, you would simply use "打扫" (dǎsǎo). For example, "我打扫房间" (Wǒ dǎsǎo fángjiān) means 'I clean the room,' implying the act of cleaning, but not necessarily that it's spotless.

When you want to express 'to clean thoroughly,' yes, "干净" typically follows "打扫." If "干净" is used after "打扫" with the structural particle "得" (de), like "打扫得很干净," it describes the result or degree of the cleaning. If you just say "打扫," then "干净" isn't necessarily present, as it's not emphasizing the thoroughness.
