How to use 列入

列入 is a formal verb often used in news, policy, and planning, usually in the pattern 把 A 列入 B or A 被列入 B. Example: 这个地方被列入世界遗产名录。(Zhège dìfang bèi lièrù shìjiè yíchǎn mínglù.) This place was included on the World Heritage List.

列 (liè) means a row or to line things up, and 入 (rù) means to enter. Picture an item stepping into a lined-up row, and you have 列入, to put something onto a list.

Common mistake: Learners often swap 列入 with 加入 (jiārù). 加入 is for people joining a group, like 加入俱乐部, while 列入 is for putting items, plans, or names onto a list or agenda. Also keep 列 (liè) apart from 例 (lì, example), which has an extra 亻 on the left.
