Meaning and Usage
"下旬" (xiàxún) refers specifically to the last ten days of a month. Chinese divides a month into three parts: 上旬 (shàngxún) for the first ten days, 中旬 (zhōngxún) for the middle ten days, and 下旬 for the last ten days. This term is commonly used in formal or written contexts such as business, weather forecasts, and scheduling.
Common Collocations
- 下旬计划 (xiàxún jìhuà): plans for the last ten days
- 下旬发布 (xiàxún fābù): release or publish in the last ten days
- 下旬天气 (xiàxún tiānqì): weather in the last ten days
Usage Notes
When using 下旬, it implies a rough timeframe rather than an exact date. It is often paired with verbs related to scheduling or events. Avoid confusing 下旬 with 下个月 (next month) or 下周 (next week), which refer to different time units. The word is neutral in tone and suitable for both spoken and written Mandarin, though it appears more frequently in formal contexts.
