汉字
用法
- Formal verb for reaching an abstract target or standard: 达到目标 (reach the goal), 达到标准 (meet the standard).
- Easy to confuse with 到达 (dàodá) - same characters reversed but a different meaning: 到达 is arriving at a physical place, like 到达北京 (arrive in Beijing).
- 达到 takes abstract objects (goals, levels, requirements); 到达 takes concrete destinations.
- Common learner mix-up worth drilling explicitly.
