Mnemonic

室 shì "room" + 内 nèi "inside": inside the room, i.e. indoors, interior. Same as the Korean word sil-nae (室內). It refers to the space inside a building or room (室内装修 interior decoration, 室内运动 indoor sports). Its opposite is 室外 (outdoors), the pair 内 "inside" against 外 "outside". 室 means "room" (教室, 办公室); 内 means "inside" (内部, 以内). 室内 and 室外 are a basic spatial pair.
