How to use 打击
打击 is common in news language for cracking down on crime, and in daily speech for an emotional blow. It works as a verb or a noun. Example: 这次失败对他打击很大。(Zhè cì shībài duì tā dǎjī hěn dà.) This failure was a big blow to him.
Both parts mean hitting: 打 (dǎ) has the hand radical 扌 for striking, and 击 (jī) also means to strike. Two hits together make a strong blow, whether to a criminal gang or to someone's feelings.
Common mistake: Learners often use 打击 for simply hitting a person, but for a physical punch or slap Chinese usually says 打 (dǎ) alone. Also do not confuse 击 (jī) with 出 (chū), which looks a bit similar but has no horizontal line across the top.
