Usage of 列举

The verb 列举 means "to list" or "to enumerate" and is commonly used when giving examples or citing multiple items clearly and explicitly. It often appears in formal or academic contexts, such as reports, essays, or presentations.

Common Collocations

  • 列举 (to list examples): used when providing specific examples to support a point.
  • 列举事实 (to enumerate facts): used in arguments or explanations.
  • 列举原因 (to list reasons): used to explain causes or motivations.

Notes

When using 列举, the speaker implies a clear and organized presentation of items, often to support an argument or clarify a point. It is more formal than simply saying (to give an example). Avoid confusing 列举 with , which is a synonym but less commonly used in modern speech.

The word is typically followed by the items being listed, often introduced by phrases like , , or specific nouns.
