How to use 专题

专题 is used for a specific subject covered in depth by a report, lecture, TV program, exhibition or website section. It often appears before another noun, as in 专题报道 (zhuāntí bàodào) special report or 专题讲座 (zhuāntí jiǎngzuò) lecture on a specific topic. Example: 这个节目做了一期环保专题。(Zhège jiémù zuòle yì qī huánbǎo zhuāntí.) This program did a special episode on environmental protection.

专 (zhuān) means focused or special, as in 专家 (zhuānjiā) expert, and 题 (tí) means topic or question, as in 问题 (wèntí). Put them together and you get a topic that gets special, focused attention.

Common mistake: Learners often use 专题 for any casual topic of conversation, but for chatting you should use 话题 (huàtí). 专题 sounds formal and refers to a topic treated in depth by media, study or presentations.
