Word origin
必填 (bìtián, "required") combines 必 (bì, "certainly") with 填 (tián, "fill in"), so it presents a form space as one that must be completed.
Usage tips
- In everyday Chinese, 必填 (bìtián, "required") is useful for reading registration pages because it identifies the boxes that prevent a form from being submitted when left blank.
