How it's used

While 樣本 is the standard term for a scientific or statistical sample, in commercial contexts, people often use 辦 to refer to product samples. Using 辦 sounds much more natural when discussing goods, fabrics, or prototypes in a shop or factory setting. Reserve 樣本 for formal reports or technical discussions.

Common mistake

Do not confuse 樣本 with 樣板, which often carries a metaphorical meaning of being a stereotypical or rigid model of something, sometimes with a negative connotation of being unoriginal.
