Usage of 赠送
The verb 赠送 (zèng sòng) specifically means to present or give something as a gift, often in a formal or polite context. It is commonly used in business, social, and ceremonial situations where the act of gifting carries a sense of generosity or official recognition.
Common Collocations

- 赠送书籍 (to present books): Typical in educational or cultural gifting.
Nuances
Using 赠送 implies a deliberate and often formal act of giving, different from simply 送 (to send or give). It emphasizes the gift nature of the item and the intention behind the gesture. Avoid confusing it with 送, which can mean to send or deliver without the gifting nuance.
Register and Tone
This word is more formal and polite than just 送. It is suitable for written announcements, advertisements, and polite speech rather than casual conversation.
