洗手池

xiashouchi

When you need to wash your hands or face, you look for a 洗手池 (xǐ shǒu chí). This is where you'll find water and a place to collect it. Think of it as the basin in your bathroom or kitchen.

It’s an important item in every home, public restroom, or kitchen. If you go to a restaurant and need to wash your hands, you’ll be looking for the 洗手池.

You'll often encounter the word 洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí) when talking about bathrooms or kitchens. It specifically refers to the sink or washbasin where you wash your hands or do other washing tasks.

It's made up of three characters: 洗 (xǐ) meaning 'to wash', 手 (shǒu) meaning 'hand', and 池 (chí) meaning 'pool' or 'pond'. So, literally, it's a 'wash hand pool'.

You can use it when asking where to wash your hands, or when describing something in the bathroom. For example, '卫生间里有一个洗手池' (Wèishēngjiān lǐ yǒu yīgè xǐshǒuchí – There is a sink in the restroom).

When talking about bathrooms in Chinese, you'll often encounter the term 洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí). This word specifically refers to the sink or washbasin where you wash your hands or face. It's a compound word: 洗手 (xǐshǒu) means "to wash hands," and 池 (chí) means "pool" or "pond," but in this context, it refers to a basin. So, literally, it's a "hand-washing basin."

It's important to distinguish 洗手池 from other bathroom fixtures. For example, 马桶 (mǎtǒng) is the toilet, and 浴缸 (yùgāng) is the bathtub. While you might use a 洗手池 to rinse a small item, its primary function is personal hygiene for your hands and face. You'll find 洗手池 in bathrooms in homes, public places, and restaurants across China.

When you're talking about a sink in Chinese, especially in a bathroom or a public restroom, the most common and practical term you'll hear is 洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí). The characters literally break down to 'wash hand pool'.

While you might encounter other terms like 水槽 (shuǐcáo) which generally refers to a kitchen sink or a trough, for washing hands, stick with 洗手池. It's direct, clear, and what native speakers use.

Remembering this specific term will help you navigate public facilities and understand conversations about hygiene or household items much more easily. It's a foundational word for describing common objects.

§ Don't confuse 洗手池 with related words

Many students mix up 洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí) with similar-sounding or related words. This is super common, especially when you're just starting out. Let's clear up the confusion.

洗手 (xǐshǒu) vs. 洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí)
洗手 (xǐshǒu) means 'to wash hands,' it's a verb. 洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí) is the noun for the physical sink where you wash your hands.

You can't use them interchangeably. Think of it like saying 'to wash hands' versus 'handwashing basin' in English. Different functions, different words.

请你去洗手

(Please go wash your hands.)

这个洗手池很干净。

(This sink is very clean.)

洗手间 (xǐshǒujiān) vs. 洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí)
洗手间 (xǐshǒujiān) means 'restroom' or 'bathroom.' It's the whole room. 洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí) is just the sink within that room.

Again, don't confuse the part with the whole. You'd ask where the 洗手间 is if you need to use the toilet, not where the 洗手池 is (unless you just specifically need to wash your hands and know it's separate).

请问,洗手间在哪里?

(Excuse me, where is the restroom?)

这个洗手池堵了。

(This sink is clogged.)

§ Using 量詞 (liàngcí - measure words) incorrectly

Chinese nouns almost always need a measure word. For inanimate objects like 洗手池, the most common and safest measure word is 个 (gè).

Wrong:
两个洗手池 (liǎng gè xǐshǒuchí)

Sounds correct, right? But for 'two' of something, we use 俩 (liǎ) informally or 两个 (liǎng gè) formally. The most common mistake here is forgetting the measure word entirely, or using one that doesn't fit.

  • Saying '二洗手池' (èr xǐshǒuchí) is wrong because 二 (èr) is used for counting numbers in sequence, not for quantity before a measure word.
  • Forgetting the measure word: '有洗手池吗?' (Yǒu xǐshǒuchí ma?) - 'Are there sinks?' This is grammatically okay but less natural than '有一个洗手池吗?' (Yǒu yī gè xǐshǒuchí ma?) - 'Is there a sink?' when referring to a singular item.

厕所有一个洗手池

(The bathroom has one sink.)

我们家有两个洗手池

(Our house has two sinks.)

§ Using 'sink' as a verb

In English, 'sink' can also be a verb, meaning to go down below the surface of water, or to immerse. In Chinese, 洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí) is strictly a noun. You cannot use it as a verb.

Wrong:
船洗手池了 (Chuán xǐshǒuchí le)

This literally translates to 'The boat has sink-ed' which makes no sense. If you want to say 'the boat sank', you'd use a verb like 沉 (chén).

了。

(The boat sank.)

§ What is 洗手池?

Definition
sink; washbasin

You've learned that 洗手池 (xǐ shǒu chí) means 'sink' or 'washbasin'. This is the standard, most common term you'll use in everyday Chinese to refer to the basin in a bathroom or kitchen where you wash your hands or face. It's pretty straightforward, but like many words, understanding its components helps you remember it.

洗 (xǐ) means 'to wash'. 手 (shǒu) means 'hand'. 池 (chí) means 'pool' or 'pond', but in this context, it refers to a basin or a receptacle for water. So, literally, it's a 'hand-washing basin'. Makes sense, right?

请问,洗手池在哪里?

Translation Hint
Excuse me, where is the sink?

§ Similar Words and When to Use Them

While 洗手池 is your go-to, you might come across other words that also refer to a 'sink' or similar structures. Let's break them down so you know when to use which.

  • 水槽 (shuǐ cáo): This also means 'sink' but is more specifically used for a kitchen sink or a utility sink where you wash dishes or larger items. It emphasizes the function of holding water for washing, often for practical tasks beyond just hands.

请把碗放到水槽里。

Translation Hint
Please put the bowls in the kitchen sink.
  • 洗脸池 (xǐ liǎn chí): This is very close to 洗手池 and can often be used interchangeably, especially in a bathroom context. It literally means 'face-washing basin'. While 洗手池 focuses on hands, 洗脸池 specifically highlights washing your face. In most bathrooms, the same basin serves both purposes, so either is generally fine.

早上我在洗脸池刷牙。

Translation Hint
I brush my teeth at the washbasin in the morning.
  • 盆 (pén): This is a more general term for 'basin', 'bowl', or 'pot'. You might use it for a portable basin used for washing, or even a flower pot. It's not usually used for a fixed fixture like a sink, but rather for a movable container.

这个是用来洗菜的。

Translation Hint
This basin is used for washing vegetables.

§ Summary: When to use 洗手池

For most general purposes when you're referring to the sink in a bathroom where you wash your hands or face, 洗手池 (xǐ shǒu chí) is the most appropriate and widely understood term. It's precise, clear, and avoids any ambiguity.

Here's a quick cheat sheet:

  • 洗手池 (xǐ shǒu chí): Bathroom sink, washbasin (general use for hands/face)
  • 水槽 (shuǐ cáo): Kitchen sink, utility sink (for dishes, larger items)
  • 洗脸池 (xǐ liǎn chí): Bathroom sink, washbasin (emphasizing face washing, often interchangeable with 洗手池)
  • 盆 (pén): Portable basin, bowl, pot (not a fixed sink)

Frequently Asked Questions

10 questions

洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí) specifically refers to a washbasin or sink for washing hands, often found in bathrooms. 水池 (shuǐchí) is a more general term for a pool of water or a pond, and can also refer to any sink, including a kitchen sink. So, all 洗手池 are 水池, but not all 水池 are 洗手池.

The most common way to say 'bathroom sink' is 洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí). You can also say 卫生间洗手池 (wèishēngjiān xǐshǒuchí) for more clarity, though it's often implied.

Yes, 洗手盆 (xǐshǒupén) and 洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí) are largely interchangeable and both refer to a washbasin or sink. 盆 (pén) means 'basin' or 'pot', while 池 (chí) means 'pool' or 'pond'. They convey the same idea in this context.

Break it down: 洗 (xǐ) means to wash, 手 (shǒu) means hand, and 池 (chí) means pool/pond. So, it's literally a 'wash hand pool'. This direct meaning makes it quite easy to remember.

While technically it's a 'pool for washing hands', it's not typically used for a kitchen sink. For a kitchen sink, you'd usually say 洗碗池 (xǐwǎnchí), which literally means 'wash bowl pool', or simply 水池 (shuǐchí).

You can ask: 洗手池在哪里?(Xǐshǒuchí zài nǎlǐ?) (Where is the sink?). Or, more specifically for a bathroom sink: 卫生间的洗手池在哪里?(Wèishēngjiān de xǐshǒuchí zài nǎlǐ?)

Common items include: 肥皂 (féizào) (soap), 洗手液 (xǐshǒuyè) (hand sanitizer/liquid soap), 牙刷 (yáshuā) (toothbrush), 牙膏 (yágāo) (toothpaste), and 毛巾 (máojīn) (towel).

Yes, it's perfectly polite. If you need to wash your hands, asking “请问洗手池在哪里?” (Qǐngwèn xǐshǒuchí zài nǎlǐ?) (Excuse me, where is the sink?) is a common and appropriate request.

You can use verbs like 用 (yòng) (to use), as in 用洗手池洗手 (yòng xǐshǒuchí xǐshǒu) (to wash hands using the sink). You can also say 在洗手池洗手 (zài xǐshǒuchí xǐshǒu) (to wash hands at the sink).

洗手池 (xǐshǒuchí) primarily refers to the basin itself, where the water collects. However, in common conversation, it's often understood to refer to the entire 'sink area' including the faucet and sometimes the immediate counter space around it, as it's the functional unit for washing hands.

Sample answer

房间里的洗手池设计非常独特,采用了大理石台面和一体式陶瓷洗手池,与整个浴室的现代风格相得益彰。水龙头是感应式的,出水流畅,温度调节也很方便。洗手池的深度足够,洗漱时水不会溅出来,实用性很高。然而,我发现洗手池旁边的置物空间有点小,放不下太多的洗漱用品。另外,排水速度稍慢,需要改进。总体来说,洗手池的设计感很强,但在细节上还有提升空间。

Imagine you are a plumbing expert. Explain the common problems associated with washbasins and how to troubleshoot them, for a DIY manual.

Well written! Good try! Check the sample answer below.

Sample answer

洗手池常见的故障包括堵塞、漏水和水压不足。对于堵塞问题,通常是毛发或肥皂残渣堆积,可以使用管道疏通剂或拆卸存水弯进行清理。漏水则可能是密封件老化或安装不当造成的,需要检查所有连接处并更换损坏的密封圈。水压不足通常与水龙头滤网堵塞或供水管道问题有关,可以尝试清洗滤网。定期清洁洗手池并避免将异物倒入,是延长其使用寿命的关键。如果您遇到复杂的漏水或水压问题,建议联系专业维修人员。
