Usage notes

Common mistakes

In the phrase '送给某人一件礼物' (give someone a gift), do not omit the measure word '件' or use '个'—'一件礼物' is standard, while '一个礼物' is less common and may sound slightly off.

Cultural notes

Avoid giving clocks (钟) as gifts in Chinese culture because '送钟' (sòng zhōng) sounds like '送终' (sòng zhōng), which means to pay one's last respects.
