Character Breakdown

Understanding 公里 (gōnglǐ)

The word 公里 means "kilometer," a standard unit of distance measurement in the metric system. It is commonly used in everyday conversation, travel, and transportation contexts to describe distances.

Usage and Context

公里 is typically used to quantify distances between places, lengths of roads, or speeds (when combined with time units, e.g., 公里小时 for kilometers per hour). It is a neutral term suitable for both formal and informal contexts.

Common Collocations

  • 公里 (distance away in kilometers): used to specify how far something is.
  • 公里 (length in kilometers): used to describe the length of roads or routes.
  • 公里小时 (kilometers per hour): used to express speed.

Tips

When using 公里, remember it is a measure of distance, so it often appears with verbs like (to be away from), (to be long), or in speed expressions. Avoid confusing 公里 with , which is a traditional Chinese unit of distance but not commonly used in modern contexts.

Example Sentences
