Handwritten; written by hand with paper and pen rather than printed.

How it's used

Distinguish this from printed text by emphasizing the physical act of writing. It often carries a sense of personal touch or informality, especially when contrasting with digital or machine-generated documents. Use it as a modifier directly before nouns to describe the nature of the document or text.

Examples

This receipt is handwritten, not computer-printed.

Common phrases

handwritten receipt

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the act of writing itself, which is simply 寫字. This term specifically functions as a modifier to describe the state of an object, like a note or a form, rather than the action of writing.
