How it's used
Use this term specifically when referring to the rate of travel over a one hour duration. It is almost exclusively paired with units of distance like 公里 to describe vehicles or moving objects. Unlike the broader term 速度, which can refer to pace or tempo in abstract contexts, this word is strictly technical and quantitative.
Examples
The car is going at 100 km/h, it is so fast.
Related words
Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 速度. Remember that 速度 is a general noun for speed or velocity, whereas 時速 is a specific measurement unit denoting distance per hour.
