Meaning of 俱乐部

Definitions from CC-CEDICT.

jùlèbù
  1. (loanword) club (the organization or its premises)

How to use 俱乐部

俱乐部 is used for sports clubs, hobby groups, and nightlife venues alike, and it often comes after a descriptive word. Example: 我参加了学校的篮球俱乐部。(Wǒ cānjiā le xuéxiào de lánqiú jùlèbù.) I joined the school basketball club.

俱乐部 (jùlèbù) sounds a bit like the English word "club" and its meaning fits too. A place where people are all together (俱 jù) having fun (乐 lè) as one unit (部 bù) is a club.

Common mistake: Learners often read 乐 as yuè, the reading in 音乐 (yīnyuè). In 俱乐部 it is lè, as in 快乐 (kuàilè). Also, 俱 has the person radical 亻 and should not be confused with 具 (jù, tool) or 惧 (jù, fear).
