When we describe something as 耐用 (nàiyòng), we mean it's durable and can last a long time, even with frequent use. It's a great word to use when you want to talk about the quality of items like appliances, furniture, or even clothes. For instance, if you bought a new phone and it's still working perfectly after a few years, you could say it's very 耐用. This word emphasizes the item's ability to withstand wear and tear, making it a good investment.
How Formal Is It?
"我们公司生产的产品以其经久耐用而闻名。 (Our company's products are known for their durability.)"
"这款手机非常耐用，我已经用了好几年了。 (This phone is very durable; I've been using it for several years.)"
"这双鞋很结实，随便怎么穿都不会坏。 (These shoes are very sturdy; they won't break no matter how you wear them.)"
"这个玩具不容易坏，你可以一直玩。 (This toy isn't easy to break; you can play with it all the time.)"
"这车太扛造了，开山路一点问题都没有。 (This car is super tough; driving on mountain roads is no problem at all.)"

While '耐用' often implies good quality, '质量好' is a broader term for overall good quality, which includes durability but also other aspects like performance, finish, etc.
This phrase literally means 'not easy to break', which is a direct consequence of being durable. '耐用' is a single adjective to express this concept more succinctly.
This means 'long lifespan'. '耐用' contributes to a long lifespan, but '寿命长' specifically refers to how long something continues to function or exist.
Facile à confondre
Both '耐用' and '结实' can describe something strong. However, '结实' often emphasizes the physical strength and sturdiness of an object, while '耐用' focuses on its ability to last a long time despite use.
'结实' is about being strong and sturdy; '耐用' is about lasting long.
这张桌子很结实，但是不一定耐用。 (This table is very sturdy, but not necessarily durable.)
'持久' also means lasting for a long time, but it's more about the duration of an action, state, or effect, rather than the physical durability of an object.
'持久' describes a long-lasting state or action; '耐用' describes a long-lasting object.
这种电池很持久，可以用很久。 (This battery is long-lasting, it can be used for a long time.)
Similar to '结实', '坚固' emphasizes firmness and solidity, often implying resistance to damage or collapse. It's about being strong in structure.
'坚固' is about being firm and solid in structure; '耐用' is about resisting wear over time.
这座桥很坚固，能承受很大的压力。 (This bridge is very firm/solid, it can withstand a lot of pressure.)
'牢固' implies being firm and secure, often used for things that are fixed in place or relationships. It's about stability and not easily breaking apart.
'牢固' is about being firm and secure (e.g., a knot, a relationship); '耐用' is about resisting wear.
这个箱子做得非常牢固。 (This box is made very securely.)
'经久' is a more literary or formal way to say something lasts a long time, often used in phrases like '经久不衰' (enduring, never-fading). It describes enduring quality or popularity.
'经久' is a more formal term for enduring; '耐用' is practical for physical objects.
这部电影经久不衰，深受人们喜爱。 (This movie is enduring and deeply loved by people.)
