I guess a good way to remember it is to think that 拿 includes the character for hand (手).

No it's not (there's an extra stroke). It's directly 合 + 手.

... Dude, whoever taught you to write 拿, sue that person! ;) j/k 咋能犯这样的错误啊，别误导了人家啊。 Regarding the original question: the two are basically the same in everyday Chinese. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

The difference between 拿 & 带 have nothing to do with distance travel or whether it requires 1 or both hands but rather on the context. In some cases they are interchangeable but not all. You would say: 我带孩子去旅行 (I bring my child along when I go on vacation) but you wouldn't say: 我拿 孩子去旅行 (I grab my child when when I go on vacation). Using 带 in this case means "to bring along". You can take your kid to the daycare center down the street which isn't really long distance or using both hands: 我带 孩子 去附近的托儿所. You can say: 我忘记拿钱包 (I forgot to grab my wallet) or 我忘记带钱包 (I forgot to bring/ carry my wallet). Both would be correct. You can say: 我去房间拿东西 (I get something from my room/ I grab something from my room) but NOT 我去 房间带东西.

Thanks shk00design ... that was helpful, especially the examples. I'm pretty sure I understand this entirely at this
point. I hope anyone else reading this also understands the difference between these. shk00design谢谢。你太有帮助了，尤其是例句。 我非常确定我现在已经完全明白了。希望看到 这页的大家也明白区别了。 (edit: some characters didn't display for some reason...) Edited by aerozeplyn on 04 December 2013 at 9:32am 1 person has voted this message useful |
