What It Means

隐藏 is a versatile verb that means to hide or conceal. It is used when you don't want someone to see something. This could be a physical object or a deep emotion. Think of it as putting a veil over something. It implies a deliberate action to keep something private.

How To Use It

You can use it for objects, like 隐藏手机 (hiding a phone). You can also use it for data, like 隐藏文件夹 (hiding a folder). It works great for feelings too. If you are sad but smiling, you are 隐藏痛苦 (hiding pain). It usually follows the pattern: Subject + 隐藏 + Object.

When To Use It

Use it when you are talking about privacy. Use it in games like Hide and Seek. Use it when discussing computer settings. It is perfect for dramatic moments in movies. Use it when someone is being mysterious. It feels more deliberate than just 'losing' something.

When NOT To Use It

Don't use it for people physically hiding behind a tree. For that, use (duǒ). 隐藏 sounds a bit more formal or abstract. Don't use it if you just forgot where you put your keys. That is just 丢了 (lost). It is not for accidental hiding.

Cultural Background

In Chinese culture, modesty is highly valued. People often 隐藏 their wealth or talents. This is called 不露锋芒 (not showing one's edge). It is considered wise to keep some things hidden. Being too flashy can sometimes be seen as rude. This word reflects that deep-seated value of discretion.

Common Variations

You will often see 隐藏 in technology. Your phone has 'hidden' settings. In video games, there are 隐藏关卡 (hidden levels). If you add (bèi), it becomes 'is hidden.' You might also hear 藏起来 (cáng qǐ lái) in very casual speech. 隐藏 stays the standard, reliable choice.

使い方のコツ

It's a very safe, neutral word. Just remember that it focuses on the state of being concealed rather than the physical act of ducking behind something.
