Definition
犯规 (fàn guī) primarily means 'to commit a foul' in sports, but can also mean 'to break rules' in general. It differs from 违规 (wéi guī), which is a more general term for violating any rule, and 违章 (wéi zhāng), which specifically refers to traffic or administrative regulations. 违法 (wéi fǎ) is broader, meaning to break the law.
