How to use 登记

登记 is used for official sign-ins: hotel check-in, registering at a hospital or school, or registering a marriage. It works as a verb and also as a noun for the registration itself. Example: 请先在前台登记。(Qǐng xiān zài qiántái dēngjì.) Please register at the front desk first.

登 (dēng) means to step up or mount, and 记 (jì) means to record. Picture stepping up to the front desk so the clerk can record your name.

Common mistake: Learners often write 登 with the wrong bottom part. The bottom is 豆 (dòu), so do not confuse it with 灯 (dēng, lamp), which sounds the same. Also keep both tones level and falling: dēng is first tone, jì is fourth.
