When used as a resultative complement, 住 (zhù) can meaning "to stop", or "tightly".


住 as to stop or to be blocked:

  • 站住!放 下 武器, 举 起 手 来!
  • 我 意识 到 我 说 太 多 了,所以 马上 打住 了。
  • 快点 打 电话 让 维修工 过来 帮 我们 止住 漏水。
  • 管道堵住了

When used with 不 or 得, 住 means one's ability is up (or not when 不 is used) to the task in question.
