Study notes
1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning
- Structure: 搬 has 13 strokes and the on-reading はん. 搬入 (はんにゅう) means bringing something in; 搬出 (はんしゅつ) means carrying something out.
- Basic usage: The words distinguish the direction in which exhibits, desks, or machines move relative to a building or site.
2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions
- Bringing in and carrying out
- 裏口から搬入された means being brought in through the back door. The presence of から does not turn 搬入 into outward movement.
- 建物から搬出した describes taking something out of a building. 展示品 occurs in both examples, so direction matters more than the type of object.
