Definition in Chinese
用作形容词，表示值得重视或珍惜的价值，常与副词（如很、非常、极其）或‘的’连用，常搭配经验、时间、建议等。yòng zuò xíng róng cí biǎo shì zhí de zhòng shì huò zhēn xī de jià zhí cháng yǔ fù cí rú hěn fēi cháng jí qí huò de lián yòng cháng dā pèi jīng yàn shí jiān jiàn yì děng
Word origin
宝 (bǎo, "treasure") + 贵 (guì, "precious") combines two ways of marking worth, so the word describes something whose value merits care and respect.
Usage tips
- In everyday conversation, this word can make appreciation sound more earnest than a simple statement that advice or help is useful, so it often fits thanks and respectful comments.
