用法

  • Means craving food / drooling over food, not general greed - 看着照片就馋了 (kànzhe zhàopiàn jiù chán le) just seeing the photo makes my mouth water.
  • Distinguish from 贪 (tān, greedy for money/gain): 馋 is specifically about appetite and tasty things. A 馋嘴 (chánzuǐ) person can't resist snacks; 嘴馋 (zuǐchán) = having a sweet tooth / always wanting to nibble.
  • Warm, playful spoken word, often used of kids and oneself.
