Definition
挪 (nuó) means to move something by sliding or pushing it a short distance, without lifting — like sliding a table or chair. This contrasts with 搬 (bān), which involves carrying or lifting a heavy object, often to relocate it. 移动 (yí dòng) is a more general, formal term for moving or shifting something from one place to another.
