qí dǎo
pray
The Chinese word '祈祷' is used to express the act of praying, usually to a deity or spirit. Similar to English, it can be used both in a religious context and in everyday conversations when hoping for a positive outcome. It can be followed by a specific object (e.g., for good health), or used alone to imply a general hope or wish.
