How to use 交易

交易 is used for business deals, trades, and market transactions, both as a noun and as a verb. It often appears in news and finance, as in 股票交易 (gǔpiào jiāoyì, stock trading). Example: 这笔交易很成功。(Zhè bǐ jiāoyì hěn chénggōng.) This deal was very successful.

交 (jiāo) means to hand over or exchange, and 易 (yì) means to change, as in swapping one thing for another. When goods are handed over and change owners, you have a 交易, a deal or trade.

Common mistake: Learners often read 易 here as the 易 in 容易 (róngyì) and think 交易 means something is easy. In 交易, 易 means exchange, not easy, and it keeps its fourth tone: jiāoyì, not jiāoyí.
