Meaning and Usage

The character 烟 (yān) primarily means 'smoke' or 'cigarette smoke.' It can refer to the visible gas emitted from fire or burning substances, as well as to tobacco smoke specifically.

Common Contexts

  • 烟 often appears in contexts related to fire, cooking, pollution, or smoking.
  • It can denote the smoke itself or be used to refer to cigarettes colloquially.

Collocations and Patterns

  • 烟味 (yān wèi): smell of smoke
  • 抽烟 (chōu yān): to smoke cigarettes
  • 烟雾 (yān wù): smoke and fog, haze

Usage Notes

When using 烟 to mean 'cigarette,' it is often part of the verb phrase 抽烟 (to smoke). Alone, 烟 can mean smoke in general, so context is important to distinguish meaning.

Common Confusion

Don't confuse 烟 (smoke) with 烟花 (fireworks) or 烟囱 (chimney), which are related but distinct words. Also, 烟 is different from 烤 (to roast) or 烧 (to burn), which describe actions rather than the smoke produced.
