Characters whose customary Unihan reading (kCantonese) is this syllable in each tone, chosen as in the tone atlas (2013 standard level, then the number of CC-CEDICT words they form), with CC-Canto 2017's meaning for that reading; a dash means no catalogue character has that reading. Checked syllables (-p, -t, -k) normally carry tones 1, 3 and 6. Character readings, not word readings; no frequency implied.

Mandarin comparison · separate source entries

CC-CEDICT, the Mandarin–English dictionary, lists the same written form:

大打出手 dà dǎ chū shǒu CC-CEDICT · Mandarinto come to blows; to start a fight; (derived from the term for a type of theatrical fight scene, 打出手 dǎ chū shǒu)

A separate source entry, shown for comparison. The same characters can carry different senses in Mandarin and in Cantonese; zimai does not align these senses.

CC-Canto includes this pinyin reference: da4 da3 chu1 shou3. It does not establish a Mandarin word with the same meaning.
