出手

出手 means 'to take action' or 'to make a move,' often used in contexts where someone initiates a course of action, especially in competitive or strategic situations.

The character 出 (chū) means 'to go out' or 'to emerge,' while 手 (shǒu) means 'hand.' Together, they metaphorically suggest the act of putting one's hand into a situation—literally or figuratively—to take control or initiate an action.

在中文中，出手 can refer to making a move in games like chess or mahjong, or more broadly, taking decisive action in business, politics, or personal life. It carries a sense of boldness and initiative, often implying that someone is stepping forward to act rather than waiting for others.
