Synonyms & antonyms
- Synonym注ぐそそぐNeutralBroader than 「注ぎ込む」: covers pouring liquid and devoting heart or effort, but without the nuance of putting in everything you have.
- Synonymそそぎ入れるNeutralA plain, descriptive way of saying pour into; its focus is on getting liquid into a container.
- RelatedさすNeutralFor adding a small amount of liquid to something, as with eye drops; unlike 「注ぎ込む」, the stress is on a little being added, not a whole volume poured in.
- Related流れ込むながれこむNeutralIntransitive: liquid or crowds flow in on their own, naturally; no one pours them in, so it cannot replace 「注ぎ込む」 for deliberate pouring.
- Antonym取り出すとりだすNeutralTo take something out from inside, including withdrawing money you have put away; the direction is opposite to 「注ぎ込む」's pouring or investing in.
- Antonym汲み出すくみだすNeutralTo scoop or bail water out; the reverse of 「注ぎ込む」, which sends liquid in rather than drawing it out.
Use 「注ぎ込む」 for pouring liquid in or putting all your money and heart into something, as in 「全財産を注ぎ込む」 or 「愛情を注ぎ込む」. For simply pouring, use 「注ぐ」; for natural inflow, 「流れ込む」. The opposite is 「汲み出す」.
