Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenBoth 高昂 and 贵 mean 'expensive'. However, 贵 is a more general term for something costing a lot of money. 高昂 often implies a higher degree of expense, sometimes with a connotation of being prohibitively expensive or having a high cost that is felt deeply. Think of 高昂 for 'exorbitant' or 'steep'. For example, you might say 物价很高 (prices are high), but you'd use 高昂 to describe something like 留学费用高昂 (the cost of studying abroad is steep/exorbitant).
That's a good question! While the primary meaning of 高昂 is about high prices or costs, it can also be used in a more abstract sense to describe high spirits or morale, like 斗志高昂 (high morale/fighting spirit). However, when talking about emotions in general, it's not typically used in the sense of 'expensive emotions'. Stick to its meaning of high cost or high spirits.
Yes, there are a few common collocations. You'll often hear things like 价格高昂 (high price/expensive), 费用高昂 (high cost/expensive), and as mentioned, 斗志高昂 (high morale/fighting spirit). You might also encounter 成本高昂 (high cost of production).
高昂 is pronounced gāo'áng. 高 is first tone, and 昂 is second tone. Make sure to clearly distinguish the tones to avoid misunderstandings.
No, you cannot. While 'high' is in the meaning, 高昂 does not carry the meaning of 'high and mighty' or arrogant when describing a person. For that, you would use words like 傲慢 (arrogant) or 骄傲 (proud/arrogant).
Yes, generally speaking, 高昂 is considered a bit more formal or literary than 贵. You'll hear 贵 much more frequently in everyday conversation. 高昂 is often used in more written contexts or when emphasizing a particularly high or significant cost.
No, you wouldn't use 高昂 for 'high expectations'. For that, you'd use something like 很高的期望 (very high expectations) or 抱有很高的期望 (to have high expectations). Remember, 高昂 primarily relates to cost or spirit.
Here's an example: 购买这辆豪车的费用非常高昂。 (The cost of buying this luxury car is extremely expensive.)
Certainly! 球队在比赛中士气高昂，最终赢得了胜利。 (The team's morale was high during the game, and they eventually won.)
When referring to prices or costs, 高昂 often carries a slightly negative connotation because it implies a cost that might be difficult to bear or that is excessive. However, when used for 'spirits' or 'morale' (斗志高昂), it has a positive connotation, indicating enthusiasm and determination.
