Definition
洒满 is a resultative verb compound meaning 'to cover a surface completely by sprinkling or spreading'. It is typically used for liquids (water, tears) or light (sunlight) that spread over an area. For solid particles (like sand or seeds), use 撒满 instead. The pattern is: subject + 洒满 + location (the location is the object, no additional preposition needed).
