How to use 统计
统计 works as a verb meaning to count up or compile figures, and as a noun meaning statistics or statistical data. It is common in work, school and news contexts. Example: 请统计一下参加的人数。(Qǐng tǒngjì yíxià cānjiā de rénshù.) Please count up the number of participants.
统 (tǒng) means to unite or bring together, as in 总统 (zǒngtǒng), and 计 (jì) means to count or calculate, as in 计算 (jìsuàn). Bring all the numbers together and count them, and you have 统计 (tǒngjì), statistics.
Common mistake: Learners often use 统计 for simple everyday counting, like counting coins in your hand, where 数 (shǔ) is more natural. 统计 suggests collecting and totaling data, often in a formal or organized way.
