When you're reading a book or a document in Chinese, you'll often come across the word 页码 (yèmǎ). This simply means 'page number'. It's a very practical word to know when you need to refer to a specific page or find your place.
For example, if someone asks you to turn to a certain page, they might say something like '请翻到第七页码' (Qǐng fāndào dì qī yèmǎ), which means 'Please turn to page number seven'. Understanding 页码 helps you navigate Chinese texts easily.
When navigating through documents or books, you'll often encounter 页码 (yèmǎ), which refers to the page number. This term is straightforward and essential for referencing specific parts of written material. You'll hear it in contexts like, "请告诉我这本书的页码" (Qǐng gàosu wǒ zhè běn shū de yèmǎ), meaning "Please tell me the page number of this book." Understanding 页码 is key to organizing and accessing information efficiently in Chinese.
§ Understanding 页码 (yèmǎ)
The Chinese word for 'page number' is 页码 (yèmǎ). It's a noun. Think of it as a direct equivalent to the English term. You'll use it in similar contexts – when you need to refer to the numbered pages of a book, document, or any written material.
- DEFINITION
- page number; a number assigned to a page in a book or document.
§ Basic Sentence Structures with 页码
Using 页码 is quite straightforward. It often appears after a numerical quantifier or as part of a phrase indicating a specific page. Here are some common ways to use it:
- Referring to a specific page number:
请翻到第十页码。
Qǐng fāndào dì shí yèmǎ.
(Please turn to page number ten.)
- Asking for the page number:
这本书的起始页码是多少？
Zhè běn shū de qǐshǐ yèmǎ shì duōshǎo?
(What is the starting page number of this book?)
- Discussing the absence or presence of page numbers:
这份文件没有页码。
Zhè fèn wénjiàn méiyǒu yèmǎ.
(This document has no page numbers.)
§ Using 页码 with Verbs and Prepositions
When you're talking about actions related to page numbers, you'll pair 页码 with various verbs and sometimes prepositions.
- Adding/Inserting page numbers:
你需要在报告中添加页码。
Nǐ xūyào zài bàogào zhōng tiānjiā yèmǎ.
(You need to add page numbers in the report.)
- Checking/Verifying page numbers:
请核对一下所有的页码。
Qǐng héduì yīxià suǒyǒu de yèmǎ.
(Please check all the page numbers.)
- Referring to page numbers in a range:
这个章节从页码20到30。
Zhège zhāngjié cóng yèmǎ èrshí dào sānshí.
(This chapter is from page number 20 to 30.)
§ Common Phrases and Usage Tips
Here are a few more common phrases and tips to help you use 页码 naturally:
- Missing page numbers:
有几页的页码不见了。
Yǒu jǐ yè de yèmǎ bù jiànle.
(The page numbers on a few pages are missing.)
- Incorrect page numbers:
这份手册的页码是错误的。
Zhè fèn shǒucè de yèmǎ shì cuòwù de.
(The page numbers in this manual are incorrect.)
Keep practicing with these examples, and you'll find 页码 becomes a natural part of your Chinese vocabulary. Remember, context is key, and while 页码 is precise, sometimes simpler phrases like “第X页” (dì X yè) are perfectly fine too. Good job!
§ Don't Confuse 页码 with Page Number in General
Many English speakers learning Chinese might be tempted to use 页码 for any mention of a 'page number'. While 页码 literally means 'page number', it specifically refers to the assigned numeral at the bottom or corner of a page, not the conceptual idea of 'page number' when you're just talking about which page something is on.
For instance, if you're asking 'What page is this on?', you wouldn't typically use 页码. You'd use 更普遍的说法，比如 '这是第几页？' (zhè shì dì jǐ yè?) which means 'Which page is this?' or '这是哪一页？' (zhè shì nǎ yī yè?) meaning 'Which page is this one?'
§ Using 页码 for 'Page' or 'A Page'
Another common mistake is to use 页码 when you simply mean 'a page' or 'the page'. Remember, 页码 always carries the meaning of 'page *number*'. If you want to say 'Please turn to this page', you'd say '请翻到这一页' (qǐng fān dào zhè yī yè), not '请翻到这个页码'.
请翻到这一页。(Qǐng fān dào zhè yī yè.) Please turn to this page.
If you're talking about the page itself as a physical or digital entity, the word you want is simply 页 (yè).
- DEFINITION
- 页 (yè): page; a single sheet of paper in a book, magazine, or document, or the content displayed on one screen in a digital format.
§ Incorrect Placement or Context
页码 is typically used in contexts related to referencing specific locations within a document, such as in an index, table of contents, or when discussing layout and printing. It's less common in casual conversation unless you're explicitly talking about the numbering system.
Correct use: The 页码 are missing from these copies.
这些复印件没有页码。(Zhè xiē fùyìnjiàn méi yǒu yèmǎ.) These copies have no page numbers.
Incorrect use: I read the 页码 about Chinese history.
Here, you'd want to say '我读了关于中国历史的页' (Wǒ dú le guānyú Zhōngguó lìshǐ de yè) or '我读了关于中国历史的那一页' (Wǒ dú le guānyú Zhōngguó lìshǐ de nà yī yè), meaning 'I read the page about Chinese history'. You are reading the content *on* the page, not the page number itself.
§ Redundancy with other number words
Sometimes learners might combine 页码 with other words for 'number', leading to redundancy. 页码 already includes the concept of 'number'.
我需要知道文件的正确页码。(Wǒ xūyào zhīdào wénjiàn de zhèngquè yèmǎ.) I need to know the correct page number for the document.
In this example, saying '页码' is enough. Adding another word like '数字' (shùzì - number) after it would be redundant and sound unnatural.
Fun Fact
The character 页 (yè) is often used as a radical in other characters related to the head or face, reflecting its original meaning as 'head' before it came to mean 'page'.
Difficulty Rating
The characters are common and the word itself is two characters long, making it easy to recognize.
Both characters are relatively simple to write and frequently used in other contexts.
The tones are straightforward (both falling tones, yè mǎ), and the pronunciation is distinct.
Common sound combinations make it easy to distinguish in spoken Chinese.

neutralTips
Basic Usage: Asking for Page Numbers
To ask for a page number, you can say: 请问，这本书的页码是多少？ (Qǐngwèn, zhè běn shū de yèmǎ shì duōshǎo? - Excuse me, what is the page number of this book?)
Indicating a Specific Page
To say 'turn to page number five,' you can use: 请翻到第五页码。 (Qǐng fāndào dì wǔ yèmǎ. - Please turn to page number five.) Note that you can also just say 第五页 (dì wǔ yè) which means 'page five'.
Discussing Missing Page Numbers
If page numbers are missing, you could say: 这本书有些页码不见了。 (Zhè běn shū yǒuxiē yèmǎ bùjiàn le. - Some page numbers are missing in this book.)
Finding Information by Page Number
When looking for information, you might hear: 你可以在第十页码找到。 (Nǐ kěyǐ zài dì shí yèmǎ zhǎodào. - You can find it on page number ten.)
Using '页码' in Instructions
In instructions, it's common to see: 请填写页码。 (Qǐng tiánxiě yèmǎ. - Please fill in the page number.)
Distinction with '页'
While 页码 (yèmǎ) specifically means 'page number,' 页 (yè) simply means 'page.' They are often interchangeable in context when referring to a specific page, but 页码 emphasizes the numerical aspect.
Plurality of Page Numbers
To refer to 'multiple page numbers,' you simply use 页码, as Chinese nouns don't typically change for plurality: 我需要这些文件的所有页码。 (Wǒ xūyào zhèxiē wénjiàn de suǒyǒu yèmǎ. - I need all the page numbers of these documents.)
Context of Documents
页码 is not just for books; it applies to any document with sequentially numbered pages: 报告的页码不对。 (Bàogào de yèmǎ bùduì. - The page numbers of the report are incorrect.)
Formal vs. Informal Usage
Using 页码 is slightly more formal and precise than just saying 页 when the context specifically calls for the numerical identification of a page. For everyday conversation about turning to a page, 页 is often sufficient.
Common Phrases with 页码
Remember phrases like: 查找页码 (cházhǎo yèmǎ - to look up page numbers), 检查页码 (jiǎnchá yèmǎ - to check page numbers), and 打印页码 (dǎyìn yèmǎ - to print page numbers).
Word Origin
Modern Chinese compound word.
Original meaning: The character 页 (yè) means 'page' or 'leaf (of a book)'. The character 码 (mǎ) means 'number', 'code', or 'mark'. Together, they form 'page number'.
Sino-TibetanCultural Context
In Chinese culture, especially in formal documents and academic texts, clear and consistent use of page numbers is highly valued for organization and referencing. When citing sources or referring to specific sections, stating the 页码 (yèmǎ) is crucial for precision and clarity. It's a fundamental element of structured written communication.
