一瓶 در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Used to count bottled liquids.
- Mandatory measure word for 'a bottle of'.
- Pronounced 'yì píng' due to tone sandhi.
- Versatile for drinks, medicine, and beauty products.
The term 一瓶 (yì píng) is a fundamental measure word phrase in the Chinese language, consisting of the numeral 一 (yī) meaning 'one' and the classifier/noun 瓶 (píng) meaning 'bottle.' In Chinese grammar, nouns cannot be counted directly by numbers; they require a measure word (classifier) to act as a bridge. This specific phrase is used to quantify any liquid or substance contained within a bottle, flask, or jar-like vessel. Whether you are at a convenience store in Shanghai, a formal banquet in Beijing, or a pharmacy in Guangzhou, this phrase is indispensable for daily transactions and social interactions.
- Grammatical Function
- It functions as a determiner-measure phrase that precedes a noun. For example, in '一瓶水' (a bottle of water), '一瓶' provides the specific quantity and container type for the substance '水'.
服务员，请给我一瓶啤酒。(Waiter, please give me a bottle of beer.)
The versatility of 瓶 extends beyond just beverages. It is used for condiments like soy sauce (一瓶酱油), toiletries like shampoo (一瓶洗发露), and even medical supplies like IV drips or pill bottles. Understanding when to use this measure word is key to sounding natural. While English speakers might say 'a water,' a Chinese speaker must specify 'a bottle of water' (一瓶水) or 'a glass of water' (一杯水). This precision is a hallmark of Sinitic languages.
- Cultural Nuance
- In Chinese gift-giving culture, '一瓶' (one bottle) is often seen as too singular for formal occasions. Usually, people gift '一对' (a pair) or '一箱' (a case) of expensive liquor like Moutai to symbolize balance and abundance.
桌子上放着一瓶昂贵的红酒。(There is a bottle of expensive red wine sitting on the table.)
Historically, the character 瓶 contains the '瓦' (wǎ) radical, which refers to earthenware or tiles. This tells us that originally, these 'bottles' were made of clay or ceramic. In modern times, the word covers glass, plastic, and metal bottles. The linguistic evolution reflects the technological shift in packaging materials in Chinese society, moving from ancient pottery jars to modern PET bottles.
她买了一瓶香水作为生日礼物。(She bought a bottle of perfume as a birthday gift.)
- Common Usage
- Often used in the context of 'buying' (买), 'drinking' (喝), or 'giving' (送). It is one of the first measure words students learn after '个' (ge).
Using 一瓶 (yì píng) correctly involves understanding the standard Chinese sentence structure: Number + Measure Word + Noun. Unlike English, where you can sometimes omit the container (e.g., 'I'll have a coke'), Chinese almost always requires the measure word to be explicit if you are using a number. If you just want 'a bottle,' you say '一瓶'; if you want 'that bottle,' you say '那瓶'.
我想在超市买一瓶鲜牛奶。(I want to buy a bottle of fresh milk at the supermarket.)
One of the most important aspects for learners is the positioning of adjectives. If you want to describe the bottle itself, the adjective usually comes before '瓶'. For example, '一小瓶水' (a small bottle of water). If you want to describe the liquid, the adjective goes before the noun: '一瓶冷水' (a bottle of cold water). This distinction is vital for accurate communication.
- Negative Sentences
- When saying you don't have even one bottle, the structure '一瓶...也没有' (not even one bottle) is used. Example: '冰箱里一瓶可乐也没有。' (There isn't even one bottle of cola in the fridge.)
他一口气喝完了一瓶矿泉水。(He drank a whole bottle of mineral water in one go.)
In restaurants, '一瓶' is often used as a shorthand. If the waiter asks what you want to drink, simply saying '一瓶青岛' (one bottle of Tsingtao) is perfectly acceptable and natural. This omits the word '啤酒' (beer) because it is implied by the brand name and the measure word '瓶'.
- Quantity Variations
- If you change the number, the structure remains the same: 两瓶 (two bottles), 三瓶 (three bottles). Note that for 'two bottles,' you must use '两' (liǎng), not '二' (èr).
这一箱里有十二一瓶还是二十四瓶？(Wait, I meant: Are there twelve or twenty-four bottles in this case?)
You will hear 一瓶 (yì píng) in a multitude of real-world scenarios. The most common is the retail environment. In China, 'convenience store culture' is massive (think 7-Eleven, FamilyMart, or Lawson). When checking out, the cashier might confirm your purchase by saying '一共一瓶水' (Totaling one bottle of water). Or, if there is a promotion, you might see signs saying '第二瓶半价' (The second bottle is half price).
这一瓶醋多少钱？(How much is this bottle of vinegar?)
In a medical context, '一瓶' is used when talking about intravenous (IV) therapy, which is quite common in Chinese hospitals for treating even minor flus. A nurse might say '还有最后一瓶' (There is one last bottle/bag to go). Similarly, when buying medicine at a pharmacy, pills often come in bottles, so you would ask for '一瓶感冒药' (a bottle of cold medicine).
- Dining Out
- When dining with friends, it's common to hear someone say '我们要一瓶白酒' (We want a bottle of Baijiu). This often signals the start of a long, social meal involving many toasts.
他在晚宴上喝了整整一瓶威士忌。(He drank a whole bottle of whiskey at the dinner party.)
In skincare and beauty contexts, which are huge industries in China, influencers on platforms like Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book) will frequently use '一瓶' to describe their 'holy grail' products. They might say '我已经用完了一瓶' (I have already finished one bottle), which serves as a testimonial to the product's effectiveness.
我刚开了一瓶新的精华液。(I just opened a new bottle of essence/serum.)
The most frequent mistake English speakers make is omitting the measure word 瓶 entirely. In English, you can say 'One water, please.' In Chinese, saying '一个水' (yī gè shuǐ) or just '一水' (yī shuǐ) is grammatically incorrect and sounds very jarring to native speakers. You must use the container-specific measure word when talking about liquids in bottles.
- The 'Two' Rule
- Using '二瓶' (èr píng) instead of '两瓶' (liǎng píng). When quantifying objects with a measure word, the number 2 changes from 'èr' to 'liǎng'. This is a classic beginner mistake.
错误：我要二瓶可乐。 正确：我要两瓶可乐。(Wrong: I want two bottles of cola. Right: I want two bottles of cola.)
Another common error is confusing 瓶 (píng) with 杯 (bēi). '瓶' is for a bottle, while '杯' is for a cup or glass. If you are in a restaurant and ask for '一瓶水' but you actually just want a glass of tap water, you might end up paying for an expensive bottle of mineral water. Be specific about the container!
Learners also struggle with the placement of adjectives. Remember: Number + Adjective + Measure Word describes the container (e.g., 一大瓶 - one big bottle). Number + Measure Word + Adjective + Noun describes the content (e.g., 一瓶冰可乐 - one bottle of icy cola). Mixing these up can change your meaning.
我买了一瓶热牛奶。(I bought a bottle of hot milk - Correct word order.)
- Confusion with '罐' (guàn)
- For canned drinks (like a can of soda), use '罐' (guàn) or '听' (tīng), not '瓶'. Using '瓶' for a can is technically incorrect, though people will understand you.
While 一瓶 (yì píng) is the most common way to quantify bottled liquids, there are several alternatives depending on the container's shape, material, or the quantity of liquid. Understanding these will help you refine your Chinese and sound more like a native speaker.
- 杯 (bēi) - Cup/Glass
- Used for glasses of water, cups of tea, or coffee. '一杯咖啡' vs '一瓶咖啡' (A cup of coffee vs a bottled coffee from a store).
- 罐 (guàn) - Can/Jar
- Used for aluminum cans (soda) or glass jars (jam). '一罐可乐' (A can of cola).
- 壶 (hú) - Pot/Kettle
- Used for a pot of tea or a kettle of water. Often used in traditional tea houses. '一壶绿茶' (A pot of green tea).
- 桶 (tǒng) - Bucket/Gallon
- Used for large containers like a bucket of KFC or a 5-gallon water cooler bottle. '一桶水' (A bucket/large vat of water).
他不是要一瓶，而是要一桶！(He doesn't want a bottle, he wants a whole bucket!)
There is also the word 支 (zhī), which is sometimes used for slender, bottle-like objects such as red wine or individual vials of medicine in certain dialects (like Cantonese-influenced Mandarin), though 瓶 is more standard. For very small vials, 小瓶 or 支 might be used interchangeably.
In formal writing, you might encounter 樽 (zūn), which is an archaic or highly formal measure word for bottles, often seen in literature or high-end alcohol marketing. However, for 99% of daily life, 瓶 is your go-to word.

The radical '瓦' reminds us that before the invention of glass or plastic, all Chinese 'bottles' were made of fired clay or ceramics.

- Pronouncing 'p' without enough aspiration.
- Treating 'yì' and 'píng' as one syllable.
- Neglecting the nasal 'ng' at the end of 'píng'.
