The original meaning of "打" is hit. I believe you've heard of Bruce Lee. He was a well-known martial arts star. Many international friends think that Chinese people are very capable of fighting, but I think the Chinese character "打" is the one.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the word "打" in China is one of the words that spans most fields! First, let's start with the field of entertainment.
In this filed,”打”means play. Except that, there are “打排球”（ playing volleyball ），“打板球”（playing cricket），“打棒球”（playing baseball）.
Do you know what they are doing?
Let’s see how to “打“” at work.
Oh, I forgot, the office also has a “打印机”(printer).
Even sleep can “打”，Let go and see.
It would be kind of scary to use the word "打" in a hospital, but don't worry.
“打”has the meaning of “pump in” in“打针”“打点滴”, “apply” in”打石膏”，“dial”in “打120”（ 120 （read as yāoèrlíng) is the emergency number for ambulance）.
Here, “打车” is the same as “打的”，this word came from Cantonese. Well, that's enough for today, and I leave you with the last three as assignments.
Finally, I would like to give you four uses of “打” in dialect.（from warm-hearted net friends ）
