Meaning of 军事
Definitions from CC-CEDICT.
- military affairs; (attributive) military
How to use 军事
军事 is used as a noun for military affairs and very often as a modifier before another noun, with no 的 needed. Common pairs include 军事基地 (military base) and 军事行动 (military operation). Example: 这个国家很重视军事。(Zhège guójiā hěn zhòngshì jūnshì.) This country places great importance on military affairs.
军 (jūn) means army and 事 (shì) means matter or affair, so 军事 is simply "army matters." Think of 事 from words you already know, like 事情 (shìqing), and put the army in front of it.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes write 军 with a 冖 cover but forget it is 车 (vehicle) underneath, or confuse it with 运 (yùn). Also keep the tones straight: jūn is first tone and shì is fourth tone. Do not use the neutral tone as in 事情 (shìqing).
