Definition
呼唤 (hū huàn) is a literary verb meaning 'to call out' or 'to call for' — it often carries a sense of urgency or appeal. Unlike the everyday 喊 (hǎn, 'shout'), 呼唤 is more formal and can be used figuratively (e.g., 'the earth calls for spring'). 呼 (hū) is a shorter form used in compounds, while 呐喊 (nà hǎn) implies a loud, rallying shout.
