Bite focuses on the action of cutting or seizing with the teeth once, while chew involves breaking down food with repeated teeth movements.
Bite vs. Chew

Key Differences

Biting is the act of using the teeth to cut into something, typically as an initial action. For example, you might bite into an apple to break its skin and take a piece off. Whereas chewing involves the continuous grinding and breaking down of food that has already been bitten off. Chewing is necessary for making food easier to swallow and digest.

While a bite is a singular motion that can range from gentle to forceful, depending on the intent (like biting into soft fruit versus biting in self-defense), chewing is a repetitive action that's essential for mechanical digestion. The intensity of a chew varies with the texture of the food.

Bites can also be symbolic or communicative, such as a love bite, which conveys affection in a playful manner. On the other hand, chewing doesn't carry such symbolic meanings and is purely a physical process related to food consumption.

In terms of sound, a bite often results in a single, sometimes crisp sound, especially when biting into something hard or crunchy. In contrast, chewing is characterized by a series of sounds that continue until the food is sufficiently processed to swallow.

Biting can occur without the need to chew, as in the case of biting a thread to cut it, where the action is quick and involves no subsequent grinding. Conversely, chewing always presupposes that a bite has taken place first, as it's impossible to chew something that hasn't been bitten off or placed into the mouth by other means.
