Word origin

差 (chà, "poor") + 评 (píng, "judge") forms a compound for an evaluation that falls short and therefore expresses dissatisfaction.

Usage tips

  • English review can be neutral or positive, but this Chinese term is specifically negative, so it does not describe an ordinary account of an experience.
