Usage Notes

When using 样本, the context usually involves some form of testing or demonstration. It is more formal and technical than simply saying "example". Avoid confusing 样本 with 样子 (yàngzi), which means "appearance" or "style". 样本 focuses on the representative nature of the item within a group.

In conversation, 样本 is often paired with verbs like 收集 (collect), 提供 (provide), or 发送 (send). It is a noun and does not function as a verb or adjective.

Summary

Use 样本 when referring to a physical or data sample taken for analysis, testing, or presentation. It is common in scientific, medical, and commercial contexts and helps specify that the item is a representative part of a larger whole.
