How to use 多媒体

多媒体 is used mostly as a modifier before another noun, especially in school, tech and office settings. 老师用多媒体教室上课。(Lǎoshī yòng duōméitǐ jiàoshì shàngkè.) The teacher holds class in the multimedia classroom.

Break it into 多 (duō, many) + 媒体 (méitǐ, media). Many kinds of media together, like text, sound and video, make multimedia.

Common mistake: Learners often write 体 as 休 (xiū, rest). They look alike, but 体 has an extra horizontal stroke at the bottom of the right side. Also keep 媒 (méi) in the second tone, not mèi.
