用法
- Specifically "pick up something off the ground," often something lost or discarded: 捡钱 jiǎn qián "find/pick up money," 捡垃圾 jiǎn lājī "pick up trash."
- Contrast with 拿 ná "to take/pick up (in general)": 捡 implies the object was on the ground or not yours, 拿 is neutral about origin.
- Usually used directly with an object rather than in fixed compounds.
