How to use 键盘
键盘 (jiànpán) is the everyday word for a computer or phone keyboard, and it can also mean the keyboard of a piano or synthesizer. The measure word is usually 个 (gè) or 副 (fù). Example: 我的键盘坏了。(Wǒ de jiànpán huài le.) My keyboard is broken.
键 (jiàn) means a key, like a piano key or a computer key, and 盘 (pán) means a plate or tray. A keyboard is a flat tray full of keys.
Common mistake: Learners often write 健 (jiàn, healthy) instead of 键. 键 has the metal radical 钅 because keys were once metal parts, while 健 has the person radical 亻. Also keep the fourth tone on jiàn and the second tone on pán.
