挪动 (nuó dòng) — to move (slowly or with effort), to shift, to budge

Definition

Emphasizes slow, effortful movement of something heavy or stuck — 'to shift / to budge' rather than general movement. Often takes a small amount or short distance (一下, 一点), suggesting the motion is partial or reluctant.
