How to use 出场
出场 is most common for performers walking on stage, athletes entering a game, and characters or products making their first appearance. It often pairs with words like 首次 (first time) or 出场费 (appearance fee). Example: 他在第二幕才出场。(Tā zài dì-èr mù cái chūchǎng.) He doesn't come on until the second act.
出 (chū) means to go out, and 场 (chǎng) is a stage, field or venue, like in 商场 (shāngchǎng). Put them together and you get stepping out onto the stage or field.
Common mistake: Learners often read 场 with the second tone, as in 一场雨 (yì cháng yǔ). In 出场 it is third tone, chǎng. Also, 出场 is not a general word for showing up. For a friend arriving at a party, use 出现 (chūxiàn) or 来了 instead.
