  1. to receive (praise, an education, punishment etc); to be ...ed (praised, educated, punished etc)

How to use 受到

受到 is usually followed by an abstract noun such as 欢迎 (huānyíng), 影响 (yǐngxiǎng), 批评 (pīpíng), or 教育 (jiàoyù), and it often works like a passive in English. Example: 他受到了老师的表扬。(Tā shòudào le lǎoshī de biǎoyáng.) He was praised by the teacher.

受 (shòu) means to receive or bear, and 到 (dào) means to arrive or reach. Something reaches you and you receive it, so 受到 means to receive praise, criticism, or an influence.

Common mistake: Learners often use 受到 for physical objects, as in 受到一封信. For things like letters or gifts use 收到 (shōudào), which sounds almost the same but has a first tone and means to receive an item.
