不及格
When you take a test or a course, and you don't pass, you use 不及格. It literally means 'not reaching the standard' or 'not passing the grade.' This word is common in educational settings.
For example, if a student gets a very low score on an exam, their teacher might say他们不及格 (They failed). It's important to remember this word specifically applies to academic or performance evaluations.
When you take a test or a course, and you don't pass, you 不及格 (bù jí gé). This means you didn't meet the passing standard.
You might hear someone say, “我考试不及格了。” (Wǒ kǎoshì bù jí gé le.) which means, “I failed the test.” Or, if a student isn't doing well, their teacher might say, “他这门课不及格。” (Tā zhè mén kè bù jí gé.) meaning, “He failed this course.”
It's a straightforward way to express failure in an academic context.
When you're learning Chinese, it's really useful to know how to talk about doing well or not so well, especially in school or on tests. The word we're looking at today is 不及格 (bù jí gé). This means 'to fail' a test or a course.
Think of it as the opposite of passing. If you study hard, you'll hopefully 及格 (jí gé), which means 'to pass'. But if things don't go so well, you might 不及格. It's a straightforward term, and you'll hear it often in educational settings.
When we talk about tests or courses, and someone doesn't pass, the Chinese word we use is 不及格 (bù jí gé). It literally means 'not reach the standard' or 'not pass the grade'.
You can use 不及格 directly after the subject to say someone failed. For example, '我考试不及格' (wǒ kǎo shì bù jí gé) means 'I failed the exam'. You can also use it with a specific subject or course, like '他数学不及格' (tā shù xué bù jí gé) for 'He failed math'.
It's a very common and practical term to express this idea in Chinese, so it's good to get familiar with it.
§ What '不及格' Means
- DEFINITION
- To fail (a test or course). This is a verb. Think of it as 'not reaching the passing grade'.
When you're learning Chinese, you'll hear and use '不及格' quite often, especially if you're in school or talking about academic performance. It's a straightforward way to say someone didn't pass something that has a grade or a pass/fail outcome. It's not usually used for failing in a general sense, like 'failing at life' – for that, you'd use different words.
§ '不及格' in School
This is where '不及格' really shines. Any time you talk about exams, homework, or even an entire course, if the result is a fail, this is your word. It's very common to hear students complain about having '不及格' or teachers warning students about it.
我的数学考试不及格了。
Translation hint: My math exam failed (I failed my math exam).
如果他期末考试不及格，就不能毕业。
Translation hint: If he fails the final exam, he can't graduate.
§ Beyond the Classroom: Work and Qualifications
While '不及格' is most common in an academic setting, you can also hear it in professional contexts, especially when talking about performance reviews, training programs, or qualification exams. If there's a clear standard to meet and someone doesn't meet it, '不及格' fits.
他没有通过驾驶考试，所以不及格。
Translation hint: He didn't pass the driving test, so he failed.
这项训练如果不及格，你就不能上岗。
Translation hint: If you fail this training, you can't start work.
§ In the News (Less Common, But Possible)
You might see '不及格' in news reports, especially when they cover educational statistics or stories about professional certifications. It's less frequent than in daily conversation about school, but it's not unheard of. News reports will use it to be precise about official failure rates.
数据显示，有近一半的考生在国家英语考试中不及格。
Translation hint: Data shows that nearly half of the candidates failed the national English exam.
§ Quick Review
- Used for failing tests, courses, or formal assessments.
- Common in school-related conversations.
- Can appear in professional contexts for certification or training.
- Less common in general news, but specific to official failure rates.

ज़रूरी व्याकरण
不及格 is often used directly after the subject to indicate that the subject failed something. It can be used without an object if the context is clear.
他考试不及格了。 (He failed the test.)
When specifying what was failed, use the structure 'subject + (在) + object + 不及格'. The preposition 在 (zài) is optional but can add clarity, meaning 'in' or 'on'.
我数学不及格。 (I failed math.) / 我在数学上不及格。 (I failed in math.)
不及格 can also be used as an adjective to describe a result or performance that is a failure. In this case, it usually precedes a noun.
这是一次不及格的表演。 (This was a failed performance.)
To ask if someone failed, you can use the structure 'subject + 不及格 + 吗?' or 'subject + 及格 + 不及格?'
你考试不及格了吗？ (Did you fail the exam?) / 你及格不及格？ (Did you pass or fail?)
不及格 implies a judgment against a standard or expectation, often in academic or performance contexts. It's not typically used for simple inability to do something.
因为他没有学习，所以考试不及格了。 (Because he didn't study, he failed the exam.)

अक्सर इससे भ्रम होता है
Verb: To fail (a test or course).
Verb: To pass (a test or course).
Noun: Standard; criterion. Often seen in compounds like 及格 (jí gé - pass the standard) or 资格 (zī gé - qualification).
आसानी से भ्रमित होने वाले
Both involve a lack of success, but their scopes differ.
不及格 (bù jí gé) specifically refers to failing a test, exam, or course. 失败 (shī bài) is a more general term for failure in any endeavor, project, or attempt. You wouldn't use 失败 to say you failed a math test.
我数学考试不及格了。(Wǒ shùxué kǎoshì bù jí gé le.) - I failed my math test. 他尝试了很多次，但是都失败了。(Tā chángshì le hěn duō cì, dànshì dōu shībài le.) - He tried many times, but all failed.
Both refer to performing poorly on a test.
不及格 (bù jí gé) means to not pass, to officially fail. 考砸 (kǎo zá) means to mess up a test, to do badly, but it doesn't necessarily mean you failed. You could考砸 and still pass, just with a low score.
我这次考试不及格了，得重考。(Wǒ zhè cì kǎoshì bù jí gé le, děi chóngkǎo.) - I failed this exam, I have to retake it. 我昨天的考试考砸了，但是应该还算通过。(Wǒ zuótiān de kǎoshì kǎo zá le, dànshì yīnggāi hái suàn tōngguò.) - I messed up yesterday's test, but I should still pass.
Both imply not meeting a standard.
不及格 (bù jí gé) is almost exclusively used for academic or educational contexts (tests, courses). 不合格 (bù hé gé) is broader and means 'not up to standard' or 'disqualified,' often used for products, quality control, or eligibility.
他的产品不合格，不能出售。(Tā de chǎnpǐn bù hé gé, bù néng chūshòu.) - His product is not up to standard and cannot be sold. 这次面试，他不及格。(Zhè cì miànshì, tā bù jí gé.) - He failed this interview (implying he didn't meet the passing criteria).
Both mean 'didn't pass'.
没过 (méi guò) is a very common, informal, and versatile way to say 'didn't pass' for anything from a test to a threshold. 不及格 (bù jí gé) is more formal and specific to failing a graded assessment.
我考试没过，下次要加油了。(Wǒ kǎoshì méi guò, xià cì yào jiāyóu le.) - I didn't pass the exam, I need to work harder next time. 他驾照考试不及格，需要重新考。(Tā jiàzhào kǎoshì bù jí gé, xūyào chóngxīn kǎo.) - He failed his driving test and needs to retake it.
Both describe failing to achieve a desired academic outcome.
不及格 (bù jí gé) means failing a single test or course. 落榜 (luò bǎng) specifically means failing to be admitted to a school or university after taking an entrance exam, or failing to make it onto a list of successful candidates (e.g., in a competition). It implies a broader, competitive failure.
他高考不及格，没能考上大学。(Tā gāokǎo bù jí gé, méi néng kǎo shàng dàxué.) - He failed the college entrance exam and couldn't get into university. 他很努力，但最终还是落榜了。(Tā hěn nǔlì, dàn zuìzhōng háishì luò bǎng le.) - He worked very hard, but in the end, he still failed to get admitted.
इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
不及格 (bù jí gé) means to fail a test or course. It's a verb. You can use it like this:
我考试不及格了。
Wǒ kǎoshì bù jí gé le.
I failed the exam.
他数学不及格。
Tā shùxué bù jí gé.
He failed math.
It's pretty straightforward. Just remember it's about not passing something academic.A common mistake is confusing 不及格 with other 'fail' words. For example:
- 失败 (shībài): This means to fail in a broader sense, like failing at a task, a project, or life in general. It's not usually used for failing an exam. You wouldn't say 我考试失败了.
- 没通过 (méi tōngguò): This is also used for not passing something, but it's more general and can apply to things like not passing a review or a check. For exams, 不及格 is more specific and common.
So, when it comes to tests and courses, stick with 不及格.
अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालThe most common way to say 'to fail' in Chinese, especially in the context of tests or courses, is 不及格 (bù jí gé).
不及格 (bù jí gé) is primarily used for failing tests, exams, or courses. For failing in other aspects, like failing a mission or failing to achieve a goal, you'd use different words, such as 失败 (shī bài) for general failure.
Yes, absolutely! You can say:
我考试不及格了。
Wǒ kǎoshì bù jí gé le.
(I failed my exam.)
The opposite of 不及格 (bù jí gé) is 及格 (jí gé), which means 'to pass' (a test or course).
You can say:
他数学不及格。
Tā shùxué bù jí gé.
(He failed math.)
不及格 (bù jí gé) is a neutral term, suitable for both formal and informal contexts when discussing academic or test results.
No, 不及格 (bù jí gé) is a verb. If you want to say 'a failure' (referring to a person or an event), you would use 失败 (shī bài) or 失败者 (shī bài zhě) for a person who failed.
The '不 (bù)' in 不及格 (bù jí gé) is a common negative prefix in Chinese, meaning 'not' or 'no'. So, it literally means 'not reaching the standard'.
不及格 (bù jí gé) usually just indicates failure, meaning you didn't reach the passing score. You wouldn't typically follow it with a specific low score, though you could mention the score separately if relevant.
You can say something like:
他考试总是不及格。
Tā kǎoshì zǒng shì bù jí gé.
(He always fails tests.)
Or:
他已经不及格两次了。
Tā yǐjīng bù jí gé liǎng cì le.
(He has already failed twice.)
