Character Breakdown

Usage of (jiè)

The character is commonly used in two main ways. First, it refers to the arrival or delivery of something, such as packages, documents, or notifications. For example, 包裹已经 means the express package has arrived. This usage often appears in contexts involving deadlines or delivery.

Second, is used as a measure word or counter for regular events, meetings, or sessions, indicating the number of times an event has occurred, such as 运动 (the 10th sports meeting). This usage is common in formal or official contexts like conferences, competitions, or school events.

Common Collocations

  • (deadline arrival): used to emphasize the deadline for submission.
  • X (the Xth session): used to count occurrences of regular events.
  • (at that time): a formal phrase indicating a specific time when something will happen.

Notes

  • as a counter is not used for general counting but specifically for events or sessions.
  • Do not confuse (arrival/session) with (dào), which more generally means "to arrive" but lacks the counting/event nuance.
  • In spoken language, is more formal and often appears in written or official contexts.

Example Sentences
