How to use 违规
违规 is common in news, workplace notices, and sports. It often works as a verb phrase or describes an action, as in 违规停车 (illegal parking) or 违规操作 (improper operation). Example: 他因为违规被罚款了。 (Tā yīnwèi wéiguī bèi fákuǎn le.) He was fined for breaking the rules.
违 (wéi) means to go against, and 规 (guī) means a rule, as in 规则 (guīzé). Put them together and you get going against the rules.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes write 违 (wéi) as 伟 (wěi), because they look and sound alike. 违 has the walking radical 辶 and means to go against. 伟 has the person radical 亻 and means great.
