این چایی رو بو کن

Question

برای خودت یه چایی جدید دم کردی. همکارت به نظر میاد میخاد چای رو بو کنه. چجوری میشه بهش بگی بیا چای منو بو کن . از smell استفاده میشه اینجا یا از sniff برای فعل

Answer 1

تا اونجایی که من میدونم فرق sniff و smell مثل فرق "بو کشیدن" و "بو کردن" میمونه. اولی بیشتر روی صداش و عمل کشیدن هوا داخل بینی تاکید داره. اینجا بهتره از smell استفاده بشه.

Good, +1

To smell: همراه با حس و احساسه، to sniff: فقط عمل بو كردنه 

اينجا شما مي خوايين كه همكارتون خوب/بد  بودن اون چايي رو حس كنه، پس مي گين: "Come and smell this tea!"

ولي ممكنه كه چايي شما بوي مشكوكي بده، اونوقت از همكارتون بخوايين كه اونم بوش كنه بفهمه چه بويي ميده، اونوقت مي گين : " Come and sniff this tea ,it smells wierd"

Hi

it is manifest that the word "to sniff" has two close meanings, one of which is exactly synonym with the word "to smell".

 

she sniffed and blew her nose: INHALE, breathe in; snuffle. 

Tom sniffed the fruit: SMELL, scent, get a whiff of. 

 

Comments

Actually I didn't ever see using sniff for this meaning. I think it's better to use smell.

There is no difference between them and you can use either.

 

According to Longman:

 

sniff

2 [intransitive and transitive] to breathe air in through your nose in order to smell something:

He opened the milk and sniffed it.

sniff at

The dog was sniffing at the carpet.

 

smell

put your nose near something

 [transitive] to put your nose near something in order to discover what kind of smell it has [= sniff]:

She bent down and smelt the flowers.
