How to use 大厅
大厅 refers to the large public space at the entrance of a building, such as a hotel lobby, a station concourse, or a bank hall. It often follows the place name, as in 酒店大厅 or 候车大厅. Example: 我在酒店大厅等你。(Wǒ zài jiǔdiàn dàtīng děng nǐ.) I will wait for you in the hotel lobby.
大 (dà) means big and 厅 (tīng) means hall or room, so 大厅 is literally a big room. Picture the wide, open lobby of a hotel where everyone first walks in.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes write 厅 with an extra dot or confuse it with 厂 (chǎng, factory), which lacks the 丁 inside. Also keep 厅 in the first tone, tīng, not the second-tone tíng of 停 (stop).
