How to use 附件
In daily life 附件 most often means an email attachment, and it also appears in formal documents for appendices and enclosures. Example: 请查看附件。(Qǐng chákàn fùjiàn.) Please see the attachment.
附 (fù) means to attach or add on, and 件 (jiàn) means an item or piece. An 附件 is simply an item attached to something else, like a file clipped to an email.
Common mistake: Learners often confuse 附 (fù) with 付 (fù, to pay), since they sound the same and look similar. Remember 附件 uses 附 with the ear-like radical 阝 on the left, not the person radical 亻.
