摆, 搁 and 放

摆, 搁 and 放
bǎi, gē and fàng

All three words mean "to place something in a certain location".

1. 摆 emphasizes the presentation and the arrangement of the objects; 搁 is distinctively colloquial and most popular in the northern regions of China; 放 can be used both casually and formally.
(1) 桌子上摆着几本书。
(2) 各大商场的柜台里已经摆出了许多今年的新款。

If the sense of display is not stressed, 搁 and 放 will also do.
(3) 这东西应该放（搁/摆）哪儿？

2. 搁 also means " to put aside ". In the following two sentence, 放 is also used, but 摆 will not do.
(1) 这几个苹果搁（放）桌子上好几天了。
(2) 这件事都搁（放）了很久了。

3. 搁 and 放 also mean "to add to".
(1) 应该再往这道菜里放（搁）些盐。
(2) 还要再往盆里放（搁）热水吗？

1.这三个词都有（把东西）置于某处的意思。“摆”侧重于陈列、排列，“搁”在北方比较通用，比较口语化，有时含“留置”的意思。“放”在书面口语都通用。
如果不需要强调排列或陈列，上两句用“搁”或“放”也是可以的。
2.“搁”还有“搁置”的意思。
3. “搁”和“放”还有“添加”的意思。
