一系列 (yīxìliè, "a series") combines 一 (yī, "one") with 系列 (xìliè, "series") to frame linked items as one organized grouping.
Usage tips
- English learners often expect an article before a noun phrase, but 一系列 (yīxìliè, "a series") already supplies the grouping and is commonly placed directly before the noun.
