    A teapot teapot就是is the pot那個壺you用來make tea in泡茶and pour tea from並把茶倒出來的;It它有has a lid on top上面有個蓋子, a handle on one side一邊有個把手, and a spout另一邊有個壺嘴— the little tube那根小管子the tea comes out of茶水就是從這裡流出來的— on the other

    You put tea leaves and hot water inside, wait, then pour. That last part matters: a teapot is for making tea for several people and serving it, which is what makes it different from a kettle (a kettle only boils the water) and from a cup (you drink from a cup).
