Tips

mistakes
Don't confuse 赢利 (yínglì, 'profit / earnings') with 盈利 (yínglì, same pinyin, near-synonym) or 利润 (lìrùn, 'profit margin'). 赢利 emphasizes 'profit gained through winning / competing in business'; 盈利 emphasizes 'surplus / overflow'. Modern style guides often prefer 盈利 for the noun, but 赢利 remains fully standard.
