How to use 标题
标题 is used for the title of an article, a news headline, a chapter heading, or the subject line of an email. It is common with verbs like 写 (xiě) and 看 (kàn). Example: 这篇文章的标题很有意思。(Zhè piān wénzhāng de biāotí hěn yǒu yìsi.) The title of this article is very interesting.
标 (biāo) means a mark or label, as in 目标 (mùbiāo) goal, and 题 (tí) means a topic or question, as in 问题 (wèntí). A 标题 is the label that marks the topic, the line at the top that tells you what something is about.
Common mistake: Learners often use 标题 for the title of a book or film. 书名 (shūmíng) or 片名 (piànmíng) is more natural there, and 标题 fits articles, headlines and headings better. Also keep both syllables clear: biāo is first tone and tí is second tone.
