有用
When something is useful, effective, or helpful, you can describe it as 有用 (yǒuyòng). This adjective literally means 'to have use'.
You'll hear 有用 (yǒuyòng) often in daily conversations. For example, a tool that helps you fix something is 有用 (yǒuyòng). Advice that solves a problem is also 有用 (yǒuyòng).
It's a straightforward word to use: just put it after the noun or use it in a sentence like '这个东西很有用' (zhège dōngxi hěn yǒuyòng) meaning 'This thing is very useful'.
When something is useful, effective, or helpful, you can describe it as 有用 (yǒu yòng).
This adjective literally means 'to have use' or 'to have a function.' It's a very common and practical word in everyday Chinese.
You can use it to talk about objects, methods, or even advice.
It's the opposite of 没用 (méi yòng), which means useless.
When we say something is 有用 (yǒu yòng), we're saying it has a practical use or benefit. It means it's not just ornamental, but actually serves a purpose and can help you achieve something. Think of it as the opposite of something that is a waste of time or effort – if it's 有用, it contributes positively.

句子说明工具在特定情况下能发挥作用，所以“有用”是恰当的。
Choose the most appropriate word to complete the sentence: 这本书对学习中文很____。
The sentence means 'This book is very ____ for learning Chinese.' '有用' (yǒuyòng) means useful, which fits perfectly. '有钱' (yǒuqián) means rich, '有趣' (yǒuqù) means interesting, and '有空' (yǒukòng) means free (have time).
Which of the following sentences correctly uses '有用'?
Option A correctly uses '有用' to describe a useful tool. Option B uses '有用' incorrectly to describe a rich person. Option C's structure is a bit awkward; while the first part is acceptable, the 'but I don't like it' part makes the 'useful' sound less impactful in a natural Chinese context. Option D is grammatically incorrect and doesn't make sense; '有没有用' is usually for asking if something is useful, not if a person 'has use'.
If something is '没有用' (méiyǒuyòng), what does it mean?
'没有用' is the negative form of '有用', meaning 'not useful' or 'useless'.
Learning new vocabulary is对学习语言很有用 (duì xuéxí yǔyán hěn yǒuyòng).
This statement means 'Learning new vocabulary is very useful for learning a language,' which is true.
这个建议对我一点用都没有 (Zhège jiànyì duì wǒ yì diǎn yòng dōu méiyǒu) means 'This suggestion is a little useful to me.'
'一点用都没有' (yì diǎn yòng dōu méiyǒu) means 'not useful at all' or 'completely useless'. So the sentence means 'This suggestion is no use to me at all.'
When someone says '这双鞋很实用，也很舒适，非常有用' (Zhè shuāng xié hěn shíyòng, yě hěn shūshì, fēicháng yǒuyòng), they are likely describing shoes that are good for walking long distances.
The sentence describes shoes as 'practical' (实用), 'comfortable' (舒适), and 'very useful' (非常有用). These characteristics are ideal for shoes meant for walking long distances.
Someone is asking about a study method.
A person is talking about software.
Someone received advice.

Choose the most appropriate synonym for "有用" (yǒuyòng) in the context of a groundbreaking scientific discovery.
While '有效' (effective) and '有益' (beneficial) can relate, '有价值' (valuable) best captures the essence of a groundbreaking discovery's significance, which is a higher level nuance than simply 'useful'.
Which of the following phrases conveys a similar meaning to '这个工具真有用' (Zhège gōngjù zhēn yǒuyòng – This tool is really useful), but with a more formal and elevated tone?
The phrase '颇具实用价值' (pōjù shíyòng jiàzhí) means 'possesses considerable practical value', which is a more sophisticated and formal way to express something being useful.
In a discussion about problem-solving strategies, which option best describes a '有用' (yǒuyòng) approach?
A 'useful' approach (有用) in problem-solving specifically implies effectiveness in resolving current difficulties.
If something is '有用' (yǒuyòng), it always implies that it is also '廉价' (liánjià - cheap).
'有用' (useful) and '廉价' (cheap) are independent concepts. Something can be very useful but also very expensive.
A piece of advice described as '有用' (yǒuyòng) always means it is easy to implement.
Useful advice (有用) might be challenging to implement, but its value lies in its potential effectiveness, not necessarily its ease of execution.
In the context of scientific research, a finding that is '有用' (yǒuyòng) directly contributes to practical applications or understanding.
In scientific research, '有用' (useful) often refers to findings that have practical implications or advance our comprehension of a subject.
