Meaning of 转让
Definitions from CC-CEDICT.
- to transfer (ownership, rights etc)
How to use 转让
转让 is used for formally handing over ownership or rights, such as a shop, property, shares, a patent, or a contract. You often see it on signs in shop windows. Example: 这家店铺低价转让。(Zhè jiā diànpù dī jià zhuǎnràng.) This shop is being transferred at a low price.
转 (zhuǎn) means to turn or shift, and 让 (ràng) means to yield or give way. When you turn something over and yield it to someone else, you transfer it: 转让.
Common mistake: Learners often use 转让 for moving physical things or people, but that is 转移 (zhuǎnyí). 转让 is about ownership or rights changing hands, not location. Also note 转 here is third tone zhuǎn, not fourth tone zhuàn as in 转动 (zhuàndòng) when meaning to spin.
