Usage of 页
The character 页 (yè) primarily refers to a 'page' in books, documents, or printed materials. It is a common measure word for counting pages and is frequently used when discussing books or articles.
Common Collocations
- 第X页 (dì X yè): 'page number X' — used to specify a particular page.
- 翻到第X页 (fān dào dì X yè): 'turn to page X' — a common phrase when directing someone to a page.
- 页码 (yè mǎ): 'page number' — refers to the numbering of pages.
Notes
页 is often confused with the character 叶 (yè), which means 'leaf' or 'foliage'. Remember that 页 specifically relates to pages in printed materials. It is a neutral, standard term used in both formal and informal contexts.
When reading aloud, 页 is pronounced as 'yè' in Mandarin. It is not used as a standalone noun meaning 'head' in modern usage despite its original meaning; in contemporary Chinese, it almost exclusively means 'page'.
