How it is used
- A calendar you consult for dates - 我在日历上标了会议 (wǒ zài rìlì shàng biāole huìyì) I marked the meeting on the calendar.
- Distinguish from 日程 (rìchéng, schedule/agenda) and 日记 (rìjì, diary): 日历 is the grid of days itself.
- Measure word 本 (a bound one) or 张 (a single sheet, like a tear-off day).
