词汇 (cí huì) — vocabulary; list of words

Definition

词汇 (cíhuì) refers to the entire vocabulary or lexicon of a language, field, or person — it's a collective noun, not a single word. Contrast with 词 (cí), which means one individual word, and 词语 (cíyǔ), which means a specific word or expression. Use 词汇 when talking about the total set of words (e.g., 'building your vocabulary'), not when naming a single term.
