As it is mentioned previously, 打 is one of the most important characters in Chinese. We have shared one formula of 打, and in this post we will share another.
Formula of 打 II
For this formula of 打, 打 is in the opposite position.
Verb + 打 = Verb.
In this formula, the compound verb expresses a meaning related to the original meaning of 打. Different from the first formula, 打 in this formula does not lose its original meaning as a verb.
For example:
殴 beat up + 打 hit= 殴打 beat up, hit
拍 pat+ 打 hit = 拍打 pat, beat
敲 knock + 打 hit = 敲打 beat
捶 pound + 打 hit = 捶打 thump
撕 tear + 打 hit = 撕打 beat up, manhandle
击 beat + 打 hit = 击打 pound
攻 attack + 打 hit = 攻打 attack
抽 lash + 打 hit = 抽打 lash, whip
揍 beat + 打 hit = 揍打 beat
扣 knock + 打 hit = 叩打 knock, tap
拷 torture + 打 hit = 拷打 torture
Pay attention:
In this formula of 打, the verb is actually a kind of the action of 打 and it can be used alone or it can combine with other words to form compound verbs, for example：
如果你再干那事，小心我揍你 If you do that again, I will beat you.
攻占这个城市的战役失败了。The campaign to seize the city was a failure.
他们正在夹攻 The are attack from both sides.
