Bath = 洗澡 [xǐ zǎo]
A tiny person soaks in a steaming cup of coffee as if it were a hot tub, legs hanging over the rim. What a cozy way to 洗澡.
洗澡 (xǐzǎo) means “to take a bath” or “to shower.” 洗 is to wash and 澡 means bath; 澡 rarely appears on its own.
洗澡 is a verb plus its object, so words can go in between: 洗个澡 (xǐ ge zǎo), take a bath.
我先去洗澡。 — Wǒ xiān qù xǐzǎo. — I’ll go take a bath first.
你每天晚上洗澡吗? — Nǐ měitiān wǎnshang xǐzǎo ma? — Do you shower every evening?
