How it's used
Focuses on the high pressure or force behind the emission of a substance, rather than just a gentle mist. It is frequently used in technical or industrial contexts, such as describing jet engines or industrial sprayers, but can be used colloquially when describing something coming out with significant velocity.
Examples
The water spraying out from the showerhead is very cold.
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this for gentle actions like misting plants or applying light makeup, where 噴 is more natural and less aggressive.
