Lu 3,207 Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 拉 lā, to pull. Also used in transliterations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imron 5,277 Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 P.S. you should find a better way to block out text in an image. What you have there is very readable - "this note will self-destruct.... blah blah blah" 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
New Members DaLongHotpot 0 Posted November 10, 2017 New Members Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I think you should put the 拉 in a sentence. Just like the 'pull', 拉 have many means in Chinese. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gwr71 48 Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 It can be used with other words to form a compond word for ex. 拉链儿(simplified) or 拉鏈兒 (traditional) = zip fastener; zipper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
imron 5,277 Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Guys, it's a months old post that the OP hasn't bothered responding to. I think it's safe to say effort expended on this discussion will not be particularly worthwhile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
somethingfunny 815 Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Yeah, but how would you use 拉 in a sentence? I'd probably go for 拉倒吧 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
889 1,790 Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 I remember once being reminded to be careful using 拉客: it's not something doctors, lawyers and other professionals do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
