出售

出售 (chū shòu) means 'to sell' in English. It refers to the act of offering goods or services for purchase, typically in a commercial or formal context.

The character 出 (chū) means 'to go out' or 'to exit,' while 售 (shòu) is a verb meaning 'to sell' or 'to trade.' Together, they form a compound verb that emphasizes the action of putting something up for sale or transferring ownership through a transaction.

出售 is commonly used in business contexts, advertisements, and real estate listings. It is more formal than the simpler word 卖 (mài), which can also mean 'to sell.' Understanding 出售 helps learners grasp how to express selling in official or written Chinese.
