what is i found out in chinese

“find out” in Chinese is usually 得知 (dézhī), 查明 (chámíng), or 发现 (fāxiàn), depending on the meaning. For a simple, everyday “I found out,” 我得知了 or 我发现了 often works best.

Common choices

• 我得知了 = “I found out / I learned that ...” in a more neutral, formal way.

• 我发现了 = “I found out / I realized / I discovered,” often when you notice something yourself.

• 我查明了 = “I found out / I verified,” when you investigated and confirmed it.

Example

• I found out yesterday. → 我昨天才得知。

• I found out the truth. → 我查明了真相。

Quick note

If you want the most natural casual version, 我发现了 is often the safest choice in everyday speech, while 得知 sounds more like “learned of” or “found out.”
