How to use 机场
机场 is the everyday word for airport and often follows a place name or a verb like 去 (qù) or 到 (dào). Example: 我明天去机场接你。(Wǒ míngtiān qù jīchǎng jiē nǐ.) I will pick you up at the airport tomorrow.
机场 combines 机 (jī), short for 飞机 (fēijī) airplane, with 场 (chǎng), a field or open place, as in 商场 (shāngchǎng). An airport is simply the plane field.
Common mistake: Learners often say chǎng with the wrong tone or read it as cháng. In 机场 it is third tone, chǎng. Also, 机 alone means machine, as in 电视机 (diànshìjī), so do not assume every word with 机 is about planes. 手机 (shǒujī) is a phone and 机会 (jīhuì) is a chance.
