How to use 日报
日报 often appears as part of a newspaper's name, placed after a country, city, or group. It can also mean a daily report at work. Example: 我爸爸每天看《人民日报》。(Wǒ bàba měitiān kàn 《Rénmín Rìbào》.) My dad reads the People's Daily every day.
日 (rì) means day or sun, and 报 (bào) means a report or newspaper, as in 报纸 (bàozhǐ). A report that comes out every day is a 日报, a daily newspaper.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes say 日报纸, but 日报 already means a daily newspaper, so the extra 纸 is not needed. Also watch the tones: both syllables are fourth tone, rìbào, not rìbāo.
