How it's used
This expression carries a slightly informal or rustic tone, often implying a sense of freedom or lack of pretension. It is frequently used to describe children playing or people in casual, homey settings. While it literally refers to the state of being barefoot, it emphasizes the action of having no footwear on at all.
Examples
He always likes to walk around the street barefoot.
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with simply taking off shoes, which is 脱鞋. 打大赤腳 specifically describes the state of being barefoot, not the act of removing footwear.
