Word origin

检票口 (jiǎnpiàokǒu, "ticket gate") is formed from 检 (jiǎn, "check"), 票 (piào, "ticket"), and 口 (kǒu, "opening"), linking the ticket check with the entrance itself.

Usage tips

  • English speakers may picture only a barrier, but this word can also refer to a staffed checking point, so the site may have a person rather than an automatic gate.
