How it's used
Focuses specifically on the physical action of liquid hitting a surface after being propelled or dropped. It is distinct from simply spilling, as it implies a forceful or sudden impact that creates droplets. Often used when describing messy accidents involving drinks or cleaning liquids.
Examples
Be careful, the water will splash onto the floor.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 倒, which refers to the act of pouring or spilling liquid. 濺落 implies the liquid travels through the air before landing, whereas 倒 focuses on the source container.
