How to use 派出
派出 is used when an organization or authority sends people out for a task, such as police, troops, staff, or a delegation. It often appears in news and formal writing. Example: 公司派出三名工程师去现场。(Gōngsī pàichū sān míng gōngchéngshī qù xiànchǎng.) The company sent three engineers to the site.
派 (pài) means to assign someone a task, and 出 (chū) means to go out. Put together, 派出 is assigning people and sending them out.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes use 派出 for sending objects like letters or packages, but that calls for 寄 (jì) or 发 (fā). 派出 is for sending people, units, or teams. Also keep the fourth tone on 派 (pài) and do not confuse it with 拍 (pāi, to pat or shoot a photo).
