How to use 运动会
运动会 is the usual word for a school sports day or a multi-sport event, and it also appears in names like 奥运会 (Àoyùnhuì), the Olympic Games. It often goes with the verb 开 or 举行 (jǔxíng, to hold). Example: 我们学校下个月开运动会。(Wǒmen xuéxiào xià ge yuè kāi yùndònghuì.) Our school is holding a sports day next month.
Break it into two parts you may already know: 运动 (yùndòng) means sports or exercise, and 会 (huì) means a meeting or gathering, as in 开会 (kāihuì). A gathering for sports is a sports competition.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes say 运动比赛 when they mean a big multi-event sports day. 比赛 (bǐsài) is usually a single match or contest, while 运动会 is the whole event with many sports. Also keep 运 (yùn) and 动 (dòng) both in the fourth tone.
