Definition
划艇 is a verb-object compound (离合词) that means 'to canoe' or 'to go canoeing', especially as a sport. You can split it when adding a measure word, duration, or complement between the two syllables, e.g. 划了一次艇 ('paddled a canoe once'). The particle 了 or 过, or a measure word like 次, goes between 划 and 艇.
