How to use 跳远
跳远 is used for the track and field event, and also as a verb meaning to do the long jump. It often appears with 比赛 (bǐsài, competition) or with measurements of distance. Example: 他跳远跳了六米。(Tā tiàoyuǎn tiào le liù mǐ.) He long-jumped six meters.
跳 (tiào) means to jump and has the foot radical 足 on the left, and 远 (yuǎn) means far. Put them together and you get the event where you jump as far as you can: the long jump.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes write 远 (yuǎn) as 运 (yùn, to move) because both use the 辶 radical; check that the inside part is 元. Also keep the tones clear: tiào is fourth tone and yuǎn is third tone.
