Don't move or Don't touch!


Recommended Posts

Posted

I can't remember exactly how the simplified character looks (I only know the traditional), but to say "Don't touch!" I've always said Bie(2) dong(4). For example, bie dong wo de dongxi. However, I was at a picnic here in the states and was told Bie(2) dong(4) when a growling dog got too close. I took it as "don't move", but didn't get a chance to ask if that was what it meant. The dog had me a little distracted. Can it mean both?

I'll try to post with the char. later.

Don't touch -> 别动(動)/别碰 (bie2 peng4)

Don't move -> 别动(動)

Stand still and don't move -> 站住别动(動)
