How to use 出汗
出汗 is a verb-object phrase used for everyday sweating from heat, exercise, or nerves. Example: 我跑步以后出了很多汗。(Wǒ pǎobù yǐhòu chūle hěn duō hàn.) I sweated a lot after running.
出 (chū) means to come out, and 汗 (hàn) means sweat. The water radical 氵 on the left of 汗 shows it is a liquid, so 出汗 is simply sweat coming out of your body.
Common mistake: Because 出汗 is verb plus object, learners often write 出汗了很多. The natural form puts the extra words between the parts, as in 出了很多汗 (chūle hěn duō hàn). Also keep 汗 in the fourth tone, hàn, and do not confuse it with 汉 (hàn, Chinese).
