Notes
温习 is more formal and specific than just 'study' (学习). It implies repetition and consolidation of knowledge already acquired. Avoid confusing it with 复习 (fùxí), which is a synonym but often used interchangeably; 温习 can sound slightly more traditional or literary.
Use 温习 when emphasizing the act of going over material again, especially in academic or learning settings.
