How to use 题目
题目 means the title of an essay or talk, and very often a question on homework or a test. Count test questions with 道 (dào). 这道题目太难了。(Zhè dào tímù tài nán le.) This question is too hard.
题 (tí) has 页 (yè, page or head) on the right, so think of the heading at the top of a page, and 目 (mù) is an eye. Together, 题目 is the heading or question your eyes look at first.
Common mistake: Learners often use 题目 for a question they ask a person, but that is 问题 (wèntí). 题目 is a written exercise or a title. Also keep 题 in the second tone, not the third.
