照顾 vs 安慰 zhaogu vs anwei Anyone know the difference between these two verbs? Both seem to mean 'to care for'. Google image search seems to show more Mother/children/illness care for 照顾, but 安慰 also seems to be largely person based (as opposed to caring for a sofa by not leaving dirty plates on it!).
安慰 (anwei) is used for mental care, similar in meaning to "comfort/consolation". 
照顾 (zhaogu) is used for daily care, like that of parents towards kids, nanny towards a baby, nurse towards patients, etc.

Typical use:
他生气了，我安慰他。(He's upset, so I comfort him.)
他生病了，我照顾他。(He's sick, so I took care of him.)
