细心
细心 30 सेकंड में
- 细心 (xìxīn) means careful, meticulous, and attentive to detail.
- It is a positive trait used for people, their work, or their care for others.
- The word is the opposite of 粗心 (cūxīn), which means careless or sloppy.
- Commonly used with degree adverbs like '很' or as an adverb with '地'.
The Chinese word 细心 (xìxīn) is a quintessential adjective used to describe a person's character or the manner in which an action is performed. At its core, it translates to 'careful,' 'meticulous,' or 'attentive to detail.' However, the linguistic beauty of this word lies in its components. The first character, 细 (xì), means 'fine,' 'thin,' or 'detailed,' like the strands of silk. The second character, 心 (xīn), represents the 'heart' or 'mind.' Together, they describe having a 'fine heart'—a mind that is capable of noticing the smallest, most intricate details that others might overlook.
- Personality Trait
- When describing a person, 细心 suggests they are naturally observant and thorough. It is often used as a high compliment in professional settings, indicating that someone is reliable and unlikely to make sloppy errors.
- Interpersonal Care
- In social contexts, being 细心 means being sensitive to the needs of others. If you remember a friend's dietary restrictions without them reminding you, or if you notice a colleague is stressed and offer help, you are being 细心.
- Work Ethic
- In tasks, it refers to the precision applied to a job. A surgeon, an accountant, or a programmer must be 细心 to ensure the quality and safety of their work.
她照顾病人非常细心,每一个细节都想到了。(She takes care of the patients very meticulously; she has thought of every detail.)
You will encounter this word frequently in performance reviews, compliments among friends, and descriptions of craftsmanship. It is the opposite of 粗心 (cūxīn), which means 'coarse heart' or 'careless.' While 小心 (xiǎoxīn) usually means 'watch out' or 'be cautious' in the face of danger, 细心 is about the proactive application of focus and care to achieve excellence or show kindness.
做会计工作必须细心,不能出一点差错。(Doing accounting work requires being meticulous; you cannot make a single mistake.)
Whether you are describing a mother's care for her child, a scientist's observation of data, or a waiter's attentive service, 细心 is the perfect word to convey a sense of thoroughness and deep attention. It suggests a quality of character that goes beyond mere duty, touching upon a genuine desire to do things 'the right way' by paying attention to the 'fine' things in life.
Using 细心 (xìxīn) correctly involves understanding its role as an adjective and its adverbial forms. Because it describes a state or quality, it often follows intensifiers like 很 (hěn - very), 非常 (fēicháng - extremely), or 特别 (tèbié - especially).
- As a Predicate Adjective
- The most common structure is Subject + (Degree Adverb) + 细心. For example: '他办事很细心' (He handles matters very carefully).
- As an Attributive Adjective
- When modifying a noun, use 的 (de). Structure: 细心 + 的 + Noun. For example: '他是一个细心的人' (He is a careful person).
- As an Adverb
- To describe how an action is performed, add 地 (de). Structure: 细心 + 地 + Verb. For example: '请细心地检查一遍' (Please check it over carefully).
只有细心观察,才能发现问题的关键。(Only by observing meticulously can you discover the key to the problem.)
It is important to distinguish 细心 from similar words like 仔细 (zǐxì). While often interchangeable, 细心 leans more towards a personality trait or caring attitude, whereas 仔细 focuses more on the act of being thorough or cautious in a specific task. For instance, you '仔细' check your homework, but a person who always does this is '细心'.
老师夸奖他是一个细心的好学生。(The teacher praised him for being a meticulous and good student.)
In more advanced usage, 细心 can be paired with nouns like 照顾 (zhàogù - care), 照料 (zhàoliào - look after), or 教导 (jiàodǎo - teach/guide) to emphasize the quality of attention provided. For example, '在母亲的细心照料下,他的病很快好了' (Under his mother's meticulous care, his illness quickly recovered).
In the real world, 细心 (xìxīn) is a high-frequency word across many domains. You will hear it in the workplace, within families, and in educational settings. Understanding the context helps you grasp the specific flavor of the word being used.
- In the Office
- Managers use it to describe ideal employees. '我们需要一个工作细心的助理' (We need an assistant who is meticulous in their work). It’s a key requirement for roles involving data, law, or safety.
- At Home
- It's used to praise family members. If a husband remembers his wife's favorite snack or a child carefully organizes their toys, they are called 细心. It carries a warm, emotional connotation of 'thoughtfulness.'
- In Medical Settings
- Doctors and nurses are frequently described this way. '护士细心地为他包扎伤口' (The nurse meticulously bandaged his wound). Here, it implies both technical precision and compassionate care.
谢谢你的细心提醒,我差点忘了带护照。(Thank you for your careful reminder; I almost forgot to bring my passport.)
You might also hear it in romantic contexts. A partner who is 细心 is one who notices the small things—a new haircut, a change in mood, or a preference in coffee. This makes 细心 a very desirable quality in a companion. In Chinese dramas, you'll often hear a character say, '你真细心' (You are truly thoughtful/attentive) as a sign of growing affection.
导演对每一个镜头都要求非常细心。(The director demands great meticulousness for every single shot.)
Finally, in sports or competitive games like chess, commentators will describe a player's move as 细心 if it accounts for all possible counter-moves. It suggests a high level of strategic calculation and focus. In short, wherever 'details matter,' you will find 细心 being used.
While 细心 (xìxīn) is a common word, learners often confuse it with other terms that mean 'careful' or 'detailed.' Avoiding these nuances is key to sounding natural.
- 细心 vs. 小心 (xiǎoxīn)
- This is the most frequent error. 小心 means 'be careful' or 'watch out' in the sense of avoiding danger or mistakes (e.g., '小心地滑' - Caution: Slippery floor). 细心 is about being thorough and attentive to detail as a positive trait. You wouldn't say '细心地滑' to warn someone about a floor.
- 细心 vs. 仔细 (zǐxì)
- 仔细 is more focused on the action of checking or examining something closely. 细心 is more about the person's character or a caring attitude. You 仔细 check a contract for errors, but a 细心 person is one who always does so.
- 细心 vs. 认真 (rènzhēn)
- 认真 means 'serious' or 'conscientious.' A student can be 认真 (working hard) but still not 细心 (making small calculation errors). 细心 specifically targets the 'detail' aspect, while 认真 targets the 'effort' and 'attitude' aspect.
错误:过马路要细心。(Incorrect: You need to be 'meticulous' when crossing the road.)
正确:过马路要小心。(Correct: You need to be 'careful/cautious' when crossing the road.)
Another common mistake is using 细心 when you actually mean 'detailed' in terms of information. If a report has many details, you should use 详细 (xiángxì), not 细心. 细心 describes the person or the way they worked, while 详细 describes the content of the work itself.
这封信写得很详细。(This letter is written very 'detailedly'—referring to the content.)
Lastly, avoid using 细心 as a verb. You cannot say '他细心了这个问题' (He meticulously-ed this problem). You must use an adverbial marker: '他细心地处理了这个问题' (He meticulously handled this problem).
To expand your vocabulary beyond 细心 (xìxīn), it's helpful to look at synonyms and related terms that carry slightly different shades of meaning. Each of these alternatives fits a specific context better than 细心 might.
- 仔细 (zǐxì) - Thorough / Careful
- Very close to 细心, but often used for the act of examination. Use 仔细 when you are looking for errors or trying to understand something deeply. Example: '仔细检查' (Check thoroughly).
- 周到 (zhōudào) - Thoughtful / Attentive
- This focuses on being comprehensive, especially in service or care. If a host provides everything a guest might need, they are 周到. It implies 'covering all the bases.'
- 严谨 (yánjǐn) - Rigorous / Precise
- This is a more formal, academic, or professional term. It describes someone who is strictly logical and doesn't allow for any looseness in their work or thinking. Scientists and lawyers are 严谨.
- 缜密 (zhěnmì) - Meticulous / Careful (Formal)
- A high-level literary term often used to describe logic or planning. '逻辑缜密' (Meticulous logic) is a common collocation.
他的服务非常周到,让客人们感到很舒服。(His service is very thoughtful, making the guests feel very comfortable.)
When choosing between these, consider the 'vibe' you want to project. 细心 is warm and personal. 仔细 is practical and task-oriented. 周到 is social and service-oriented. 严谨 is professional and intellectual.
这篇文章的逻辑非常缜密,无懈可击。(The logic of this article is very meticulous and flawless.)
In summary, while 细心 is a fantastic 'all-purpose' word for being careful, using these alternatives will make your Chinese sound more nuanced and precise. If you're describing a friend's personality, stick with 细心. If you're talking about a scientific paper, reach for 严谨.
How Formal Is It?
रोचक तथ्य

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालNo. For a warning, you should use 小心 (xiǎoxīn). 细心 describes a person's thoroughness, not an immediate reaction to danger. For example, '小心地滑' (Caution: Slippery floor).
Mostly, yes. It describes people or the way people do things (adverbially). You wouldn't usually call an object '细心', though you could call a piece of work '细致' (xìzhì).
You can say '他不细心' (tā bù xìxīn) or, more commonly, '他很粗心' (tā hěn cūxīn).
认真 (rènzhēn) means serious or conscientious. You can be serious but still make small mistakes if you aren't 细心 (meticulous). 细心 specifically targets the details.
Yes! A '细心' partner is someone who is very thoughtful and notices small things about their loved one. It's a very positive trait in a relationship.
It is neutral. It can be used in casual conversation ('你真细心') and in formal business reports ('工作细心负责').
Add '地' (de) after it. For example: '细心地观察' (observe meticulously).
A very common one is '胆大心细' (dǎn dà xīn xì), which means 'bold but cautious/meticulous.'
It's better to say '这份报告写得很细致' (This report is written in a detailed/fine way) or '他细心地写了这份报告' (He meticulously wrote this report).
Yes, they often go together. Being 细心 usually requires 耐心 (nàixīn - patience), as checking details takes time.

Summary
The key takeaway for 细心 (xìxīn) is its focus on the 'fine heart'—noticing the small things that matter. For example, '他做事很细心' (He does things very meticulously) suggests a high level of reliability and quality.
- 细心 (xìxīn) means careful, meticulous, and attentive to detail.
- It is a positive trait used for people, their work, or their care for others.
- The word is the opposite of 粗心 (cūxīn), which means careless or sloppy.
- Commonly used with degree adverbs like '很' or as an adverb with '地'.
Practice with Opposites
To remember 细心, always learn it alongside 粗心 (careless). They are a classic pair in Chinese classrooms.
