How to use 电子版
电子版 is used for digital copies of books, documents, forms, and newspapers, often in contrast to 纸质版 (zhǐzhìbǎn, paper version). People often ask for one by email or chat. 你能发给我电子版吗？(Nǐ néng fā gěi wǒ diànzǐbǎn ma?) Can you send me the digital version?
Break it into 电子 (diànzǐ, electronic) plus 版 (bǎn, edition or version). An 电子 version of a book or file is its 电子版, the copy you read on a screen instead of paper.
Common mistake: Learners often read 子 here as the neutral-tone zi from words like 孩子 (háizi) or 房子 (fángzi), but in 电子 it keeps its full third tone: diànzǐ. Also do not confuse 版 (bǎn, edition) with 板 (bǎn, board), which sounds the same but uses the wood radical.
