Definition
物体 (wù tǐ) refers to a physical object or body that occupies space and can be touched or seen — a concrete, tangible thing. This contrasts with 物质 (wù zhì), which means 'matter' as a substance or material, and with 事物 (shì wù), a broader term for any 'thing' or 'affair', including abstract concepts.
