How it's used
While 傳送 is commonly used in technical contexts like file transfers or digital messaging, it sounds slightly formal or mechanical in daily speech. For casual situations involving sending items or messages to people, native speakers often prefer using 寄 or 畀.
Examples
Have you sent the document to me yet?
This file is too big, it cannot be transferred.
Related words
Common mistake
Learners often use 傳送 for sending physical objects, but it is strictly reserved for data, signals, or abstract information. Use 寄 for mail or 畀 for handing something over directly.
