用法筆記

The prefix uni- (meaning 'one' or 'single') appears in many academic words such as uniform, unique, unilateral, and universal. This is a different item from the noun uni discussed above, which is simply a short form of 'university'.

常見錯誤

I go to uni-' (with a hyphen).
I go to uni.
The hyphen form uni- is only used when it is a prefix attached to another word (e.g., unicycle). As a standalone noun meaning 'university', write uni without a hyphen.
