Definition in Chinese

Word origin

儿童票 (értóngpiào, "child ticket") is a transparent compound of 儿童 (értóng, "child") and 票 (piào, "ticket"), so its form directly identifies the ticket's intended holder.

Usage tips

  • The qualifying cutoff is not universal: a railway, cinema, or theme park may use age, height, or proof of age, so one child can receive different treatment at different counters.
