AI Study Notes for 套餐
套餐 (tào cān) vs 组合 (zǔhé) — use 套餐 when referring specifically to a bundled meal or service package, while 组合 is more general for any combination of items.
Be careful not to confuse 套餐 with 单点 (dān diǎn), which means ordering items individually. The term is informal and frequently used in casual dining and shopping contexts. Also, ensure you pronounce the tones correctly: 套 (tào) with a falling tone and 餐 (cān) with a high level tone.
