Definition
关机 (guān jī) means 'to turn off a device (phone, machine, etc.)'. It is a verb-object compound that can be split (e.g., 关了机). Unlike the general verb 关 (guān), which can be used for closing doors, windows, or turning off lights, 关机 is specifically for electronic devices. 关机 also means 'to finish shooting a film'.
