Definition in Chinese

Word origin

型 (xíng, "type") identifies the product's form or category, while 号 (hào, "number") marks it with a distinguishing code, so the compound refers to a specific product version.

Usage tips

  • English model can refer to a product family without naming its full label, so Chinese product talk often gives extra letters and numbers when precision matters.
