Meaning and Usage
"凳子" refers to a small, low seat without a backrest, commonly used in homes, kitchens, or informal settings. It is often made of wood or plastic.
Common Contexts
People use 凳子 for quick seating, resting briefly, or even as a makeshift step to reach something higher. It is less formal than a chair with a backrest.
Collocations and Patterns
- "木制凳子" (wooden stool): emphasizes material.
- "坐在凳子上" (sit on a stool): common phrase for using it.
- "用凳子当梯子" (use a stool as a ladder): shows a practical, improvised use.
Usage Notes
凳子 is distinct from "椅子" which usually means a chair with a backrest. 凳子 is simpler and often portable. Avoid confusing 凳子 with "凳" alone, which is less commonly used by itself in modern speech.
