Verb
洗澡

我 先 洗 個 澡 。/ 我 先 洗 个 澡 。 ― Wǒ xiān xǐ ge zǎo . ― I'm just gonna take a shower .
( dialectal ) to swim
Usage notes
Note that in casual conversation Chinese speakers do not usually distinguish between taking a shower and taking a bath as is customary in English; 洗澡 (xǐzǎo ) could refer to either. To refer specifically to taking a shower, consider 沖澡 / 冲澡 (chōngzǎo ) or 淋浴 (línyù ); to refer specifically to taking a bath consider 泡澡 (pàozǎo ) or 浸浴 (jìnyù ).
