Word origin
价值 (jiàzhí, "value") combines 价 (jià, "price") + 值 (zhí, "be worth"), linking a thing's price with the broader sense of what it is worth.
Usage tips
- English speakers often connect value mainly with money, but Chinese uses it widely for advice, information, time, and experience, where it can mean useful or meaningful rather than expensive.
