I use the phrase "change the laundry" to mean "move the laundry from the washing machine to the dryer." I would like to know how to say this in Chinese.
I checked Pleco, and found 晒衫, but that means to hang clothes up to dry, which is a little different.
I checked Google translate, and got 换衣服, but I assume that would be understood as "change one's clothes".
And of course, I could always say something like, 把衣服从洗衣机拿出来放在干衣里, but I'd like to know if there is something more concise.
把衣服从洗衣机拿出来放在干衣机里 or 把衣服拿出来烘干 or 把衣服烘干 is the correct answer.
烘 means heat up objects with hot/warm air
我觉得国内绝大多数家庭里都不用干衣机吧，通常都是晾干或者晒干，
至少我家是不用干衣机的（虽然有洗干一体机）
所以没有对应 change the laundry 的说法好像也很正常。
@Virgil Ming: neither is a dishwasher!!
'change the laundry' is somewhat idiomatic!
Stick the wet washing in the dryer please.
请吧洗好的衣服放进烘干机。
There really isn’t such a dedicated concise phrase. Dryer hasn’t been a thing in common household of China.
"change the laundry" isn't proper English either. You probably mean "put the laundry in the dryer".
