Pro Tip
Measure words for publications
In Chinese, '本' (běn) is the most common measure word for books, while '份' (fèn) is used for newspapers, magazines, or documents. For example, '一本小说' (a novel) vs. '一份报纸' (a newspaper).
Gold Rule
Demonstrative pronouns + measure words
When using demonstrative pronouns like '这' (this) or '那' (that) with measure words, the structure is: Demonstrative + Measure Word + Noun. For example, '这份杂志' (this magazine) or '那本书' (that book).
Word Origin
The phrase combines the demonstrative pronoun '那' (that) and '份' (a measure word for publications) with '杂志' (magazine). '份' is used here as a classifier for items like newspapers or magazines.
Usage Notes
The measure word '份' is commonly used for newspapers, magazines, or documents. It implies a single copy or issue rather than the publication as a whole.
