How to use 亚运会

亚运会 is a shortened form of 亚洲运动会 (Yàzhōu Yùndònghuì) and is the normal way to talk about the Asian Games in news and conversation. It often follows a city name or a year. Example: 2010年广州举办了亚运会。(2010 nián Guǎngzhōu jǔbàn le Yàyùnhuì.) Guangzhou hosted the Asian Games in 2010.

Break it into three parts: 亚 (yà) for 亚洲 (Yàzhōu) Asia, 运 (yùn) for 运动 (yùndòng) sports, and 会 (huì) for a big gathering. Put together, it is the Asia sports meeting, the Asian Games.

Common mistake: Learners often mix it up with 奥运会 (Àoyùnhuì), the Olympic Games, because only the first character changes. Also keep 亚 in the fourth tone (yà), not the third tone yǎ.
