试衣间 (shìyījiān, "fitting room") combines 试 (shì, "try") + 衣 (yī, "clothing") + 间 (jiān, "room or space") to name a room for trying on clothes.
Usage tips
- English uses both "fitting room" and "dressing room," but this Chinese word specifically points to the store space for trying on clothes, not just any place for getting dressed.
