How it's used
Describes a sudden, forceful, and often uncontrollable flow of liquid or emotion. It implies a sense of pressure or volume that makes the substance burst forth, rather than just flowing steadily like a stream. It is frequently used for natural phenomena like springs or metaphorical situations like tears or memories.
Examples
The water from underground suddenly gushed out.
Related words
Common phrases
to gush out (towards the speaker)
tears gushing out
Common mistake
Avoid using this for controlled pouring or gentle flows, as it implies a lack of restraint. Use 流 for standard flowing or pouring actions.
