How to use 停车场
停车场 is the everyday word for a parking lot or car park, including underground garages, which are often called 地下停车场 (dìxià tíngchēchǎng). Example: 停车场在商场后面。(Tíngchēchǎng zài shāngchǎng hòumiàn.) The parking lot is behind the mall.
Break it into three parts: 停 (tíng) to stop, 车 (chē) car, and 场 (chǎng) a large open place. A 停车场 is simply the place where you stop your car.
Common mistake: Learners often say 停车 (tíngchē) alone when they mean the place. 停车 is the action of parking, so you need 场 to mean the lot. Also watch the tone on 场: it is third tone chǎng here, as in 机场 (jīchǎng).
