How to use 推进

推进 is often used for moving plans, projects, reforms, or work forward, and it sounds fairly formal. It also appears in military or news language for troops advancing. Example: 我们要推进这个项目。(Wǒmen yào tuījìn zhège xiàngmù.) We need to push this project forward.

推 (tuī) means to push, and 进 (jìn) means to move forward or enter. Picture yourself pushing a cart forward step by step, and you have 推进: to push something ahead.

Common mistake: Learners sometimes use 推进 for physically pushing an object into a room, but for that Chinese usually says 推进来 (tuī jìnlái) or 推进去 (tuī jìnqù) with a direction. Also keep 推 in the first tone (tuī), not the second.
