"招手" (zhāoshǒu) and "挥手" (huīshǒu) both involve hand gestures, but they are used in slightly different contexts and have different meanings. Here's how they differ:

招手 (zhāoshǒu): To wave one's hand, usually to signal or beckon someone. "招手" typically involves a gesture where you move your hand back and forth to get someone’s attention, to greet them, or to ask them to come closer. It’s often used in a friendly or inviting context.

挥手 (huīshǒu): To wave or to swing one's hand. "挥手" generally refers to the broader action of waving or swinging one's hand, which can be used in different contexts, such as waving goodbye, signaling, or even in a dismissive gesture. It can be a more casual or broad gesture compared to "招手."
