How to use 鼠标
鼠标 is the everyday word for a computer mouse. It often pairs with verbs like 点 (diǎn, to click) and 移动 (yídòng, to move). Example: 用鼠标点一下这个按钮。(Yòng shǔbiāo diǎn yíxià zhège ànniǔ.) Click this button with the mouse.
鼠 (shǔ) means mouse or rat, and 标 (biāo) means a mark or marker, as in 目标 (mùbiāo) target. A computer mouse is the little 'mouse' that moves the marker around your screen.
Common mistake: Learners often say 老鼠 (lǎoshǔ) when they mean the computer mouse, but 老鼠 is the animal. Also watch the tone of 鼠: it is third tone shǔ, not fourth tone shù like 树 (shù, tree).
