Usage of 疼 (téng)

The character 疼 primarily describes physical pain or soreness, such as headaches, toothaches, or muscle pain. It is commonly used to express that a part of the body hurts. For example, "头疼" means "head hurts."

Besides physical pain, 疼 can also express emotional affection or tenderness, especially in the phrase "疼爱," which means to love or care for someone deeply, often used for family members or children.

Common Collocations

  • 头疼 (tóuténg): headache
  • 牙疼 (yáténg): toothache
  • 疼爱 (téng'ài): to love dearly, to cherish

Notes

When used to describe pain, 疼 usually follows the body part directly (e.g., 背疼, 腿疼). When expressing affection, it is often combined with 爱 (love) to form 疼爱.

Avoid confusing 疼 with 痛 (tòng), which also means pain but is often used for more intense or acute pain. 疼 is more common in everyday speech for mild to moderate pain.
