typical
The Chinese word '典型' is used similarly to the English word 'typical', to describe something that is representative of a type. This could apply to a wide range of contexts, including types of behaviour, phenomena, objects, persons, etc. So, you could use '典型' in sentences like '他是个典型的学生' (He is a typical student).
