Definition

1. Noun:
   • Thermometer: A device used to measure temperature. The word "nhiệt biểu" is a compound noun formed from "nhiệt" (heat, temperature) and "biểu" (meter, indicator). It is a formal or technical term, largely synonymous with the more common "nhiệt kế".

Usage Examples

  • Anh ấy kiểm tra nhiệt biểu bên ngoài mỗi sáng. (He checks the outdoor thermometer every morning.)

Advanced Usage

• The term "nhiệt biểu" is primarily used in scientific, medical, or formal written contexts. In everyday conversation, the word "nhiệt kế" is far more common and preferred.

Variants and Related Words

• Nhiệt độ kế (n): Thermometer. A less common variant, also meaning temperature meter.

Notes on Meaning

• This word is a Sino-Vietnamese compound. While still understood, its usage has declined in favor of "nhiệt kế". You will encounter it in older texts, technical manuals, or formal scientific descriptions.
