Guía de uso

Contexto: daily life, colloquial, Beijing dialect

Tono: casual

Correcto

• 天冷了，他习惯把双手揣进兜儿里走路。(When it's cold, he habitually walks with both hands tucked into his pockets.)
• 这条裤子的兜儿太浅，手机放进去容易掉出来。(The pockets of these pants are too shallow — a phone placed inside might easily fall out.)

Incorrecto

• 兜儿很多钱 — a pocket cannot be the subject 'having' money; say 他兜儿里有很多钱 (he has a lot of money in his pocket)
