Definition
打鼾 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to snore'. The two syllables can be split to insert aspect markers, durations, or measures: 打了一个晚上的鼾 ('snored all night'). Since the person is the subject, you don't place an object after the verb — just say someone 打鼾. Be careful: the correct pronunciation is dǎ hān, though the source data gives an unusual tone on 打.
v.o.
to snore
