How to Say "Arms" in Chinese - How To Say Guide

手臂

The English phrase "arms" is translated into Chinese as 手臂.

Did you know?

While 手臂 refers to the physical limb, if you want to talk about 'arms' in the sense of weapons, you must use a completely different word: 兵器 or 武器.
In certain Chinese idioms, 'arm' is used metaphorically to mean an 'instrument' or 'agent' used by a leader to get things done.
In traditional Chinese medicine, the 手臂 is viewed as a network of meridians, meaning a person might massage their arm to treat an organ in the torso.
