Word origin

成人 (chéngrén, "adult") + 票 (piào, "ticket") forms a category label for a ticket issued to an adult at the adult rate.

Usage tips

  • The adult category does not always begin at the same age: museums, cinemas, and transport services can set different cutoffs, so the price rule belongs to the service rather than to the word itself.
