Definition
This row is problematic: the pinyin given is jiào, but the English gloss primarily describes the jué reading (sense, feel, become aware, discover). In standard Mandarin, 觉 with jiào only appears as a noun in words like 睡觉 (sleep) or 午觉 (nap) and is rarely used as a standalone verb. The gloss conflates the two readings. For the jiào reading, the only viable verb sense is an archaic or dialectal 'to sleep', which is not common in modern usage. This entry likely requires correction — consider splitting into jué and jiào rows.
v.
sleep
