Word origin

首批 (shǒupī, "first batch") combines 首 (shǒu, "first") with 批 (pī, "batch"), so it marks the group at the front of an ordered series.

Usage tips

  • In product or service announcements, this term can mark an initial release rather than the complete supply, so later availability is not implied.
