How to use 实验室

实验室 is the everyday word for a lab in schools, universities, hospitals and companies. It often follows the field it belongs to, as in 化学实验室 (huàxué shíyànshì, chemistry lab). Example: 她每天都在实验室工作。(Tā měitiān dōu zài shíyànshì gōngzuò.) She works in the lab every day.

实验室 is built from 实验 (shíyàn, experiment) plus 室 (shì, room). A room for experiments is a laboratory.

Common mistake: Learners often write 验 (yàn) with the wrong side, mixing it up with 险 (xiǎn, danger) or 脸 (liǎn, face). 验 has the horse radical 马 on the left. Also keep 室 (shì) in the fourth tone. Do not read it like 是 or 事 in a flat or rising tone.
