漂亮
When you want to say something or someone looks good in Chinese, you can use 漂亮 (piào liang). This word is an adjective, which means it describes a noun. You can use it for people, objects, and even scenery.
For example, if you see a beautiful flower, you can say 这朵花很漂亮 (zhè duǒ huā hěn piào liang). If you want to say someone is pretty, you can say 她很漂亮 (tā hěn piào liang).
When talking about people, 漂亮 (piào liang) means 'beautiful' or 'pretty'. For example, 她很漂亮 (tā hěn piào liang) means 'She is very beautiful'.
You can also use 漂亮 to describe things like clothes or scenery. For instance, 这件衣服很漂亮 (zhè jiàn yī fú hěn piào liang) means 'This piece of clothing is very pretty'.
It's a versatile word for describing attractiveness. Remember that it's an adjective, so it usually goes before the noun or after '很 (hěn)' or '非常 (fēi cháng)' when used with a subject.
When talking about the weather, 漂亮 (piào liang) can mean “nice” or “fine.”
For example, you can say 今天天气很漂亮 (jīn tiān tiān qì hěn piào liang) to mean “The weather today is nice.”
It’s important to remember that 漂亮 is usually used to describe something aesthetically pleasing, so when using it for weather, it implies a visually pleasant day, like a clear sky or sunshine.
While other words like 好 (hǎo) also mean “good,” 漂亮 adds a nuance of visual appeal.
When we describe something or someone as beautiful or pretty, we can use 漂亮 (piàoliang).
It's a common adjective, and you'll hear it a lot in everyday conversation. You can use it for people, objects, and even abstract things like scenery.
For example, you can say 她很漂亮 (tā hěn piàoliang) for "She is beautiful." or 这件衣服很漂亮 (zhè jiàn yīfu hěn piàoliang) for "This piece of clothing is very pretty."
It's a versatile word that expresses admiration for aesthetic appeal.
When using 漂亮 (piàoliang) in Chinese, remember it’s an adjective and usually goes before the noun it describes, or after a linking verb like 是 (shì) or 看起来 (kànqǐlái, looks like).
For example, you can say 她很漂亮 (tā hěn piàoliang, She is very beautiful) or 这件衣服很漂亮 (zhè jiàn yīfu hěn piàoliang, This piece of clothing is very beautiful).
It’s a common and versatile word for describing beauty in many contexts.

§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
The Chinese word 漂亮 (piàoliang) is an adjective that means 'beautiful' or 'pretty'. It's a very common and versatile word that you'll hear and use a lot in everyday conversations. Think of it as your go-to word for describing anything visually appealing.
- DEFINITION
- beautiful; pretty
You can use 漂亮 to describe people, objects, scenes, and even abstract concepts that have a pleasing aesthetic. It's generally positive and implies something that is pleasing to the eye.
For example, you can say someone is 漂亮 if they are good-looking. This is probably one of the most common uses. It's often used for women, but can also be used for men if you mean 'handsome' in a 'pretty' way, though for men, 帅 (shuài) 'handsome' is more common and generally preferred.
她很漂亮。(Tā hěn piàoliang.)
She is very beautiful/pretty.
You can also use it to describe things like clothes, houses, flowers, and scenery. Basically, anything that looks good!
这件衣服真漂亮。(Zhè jiàn yīfu zhēn piàoliang.)
This piece of clothing is really beautiful/pretty.
这个地方的风景很漂亮。(Zhège dìfang de fēngjǐng hěn piàoliang.)
The scenery of this place is very beautiful.
Beyond physical appearance, 漂亮 can also be used in a more figurative sense to describe something well done or impressive. For example, a great shot in basketball, a beautiful move in martial arts, or even a well-executed plan can be described as 漂亮.
你打得真漂亮！(Nǐ dǎ de zhēn piàoliang!)
You played really well/beautifully!
In this context, it's about the quality of the action rather than its visual beauty in the traditional sense. It implies that the action was skillful, effective, and pleasing to observe.
So, when you think about using 漂亮, consider these points:
- For people: Mostly for women, meaning 'beautiful' or 'pretty'. For men, 帅 (shuài) is more common.
- For objects/scenery: Any visually appealing item or view.
- For actions: To describe something well-executed or impressive.
Alright, let's get into how to actually use 漂亮 (piàoliang), which means 'beautiful' or 'pretty', in your Chinese sentences. It's an adjective, so it describes nouns. Simple enough, right?
§ Basic Sentence Structure
The most common way to use 漂亮 is by placing it directly before the noun it modifies, usually with the particle 的 (de) in between. Sometimes, you can skip 的, especially if the adjective is a single character or if it's very closely linked to the noun.
- Structure
- Noun + 很/非常 (hěn/fēicháng) + 漂亮 (piàoliang)
You'll often see '很' (hěn), meaning 'very', before adjectives like 漂亮. Don't always translate 很 as 'very' in your head; sometimes it just acts as a connector to make the sentence sound natural, not necessarily implying a high degree of 'very'.
她很漂亮。
Translation hint: She is very beautiful. (Or just, She is beautiful.)
这个地方非常漂亮。
Translation hint: This place is extremely beautiful.
§ Describing Nouns Directly
When 漂亮 describes a noun, it goes before the noun. Usually, you'll use 的 (de) to connect them.
- Structure
- 漂亮 (piàoliang) + 的 (de) + Noun
那是一朵漂亮的花。
Translation hint: That is a beautiful flower.
她穿了一件漂亮的衣服。
Translation hint: She wore a pretty dress.
§ Comparing Things
You can also use 漂亮 to compare things. Here's a common structure:
- Structure
- A + 比 (bǐ) + B + 漂亮 (piàoliang)
我的房间比你的房间漂亮。
Translation hint: My room is prettier than your room.
- Structure
- A + 没有 (méiyǒu) + B + (那么/这么) (nàme/zhème) + 漂亮 (piàoliang)
她没有你那么漂亮。
Translation hint: She is not as beautiful as you.
§ Using 漂亮 as a Complement
You can also use 漂亮 as a complement after a verb to describe the result of an action. This is a bit more advanced but good to know.
- Structure
- Verb + 得 (de) + 漂亮 (piàoliang)
她唱歌唱得很漂亮。
Translation hint: She sings beautifully (literally, she sings so that it is beautiful).
Remember, practice makes perfect. Try to form your own sentences using 漂亮 in these different structures. You'll get the hang of it quickly!

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
漂亮 (piào liang) is a versatile adjective you'll hear a lot. It generally means 'beautiful' or 'pretty'. You can use it to describe people, especially women and girls, as well as objects, places, and even abstract concepts like a nice idea or a well-done job.
When describing people:
She's very beautiful: 她很漂亮 (Tā hěn piào liang).
Your daughter is so pretty: 你的女儿真漂亮 (Nǐ de nǚ'ér zhēn piào liang).
When describing objects/places:
What a beautiful dress: 这件衣服真漂亮 (Zhè jiàn yīfu zhēn piào liang).
This park is really pretty: 这个公园很漂亮 (Zhège gōngyuán hěn piào liang).
You can also use it more generally to mean 'nice' or 'great' in a figurative sense:
That was a great job: 这活儿干得真漂亮 (Zhè huór gàn de zhēn piào liang).
That's a pretty good idea: 这是个漂亮的主意 (Zhè shì ge piào liang de zhǔyì).
Don't use 漂亮 to describe men. While it means 'beautiful' or 'pretty', it's generally reserved for females, objects, or situations. For men, you'd use words like '帅' (shuài - handsome) or '酷' (kù - cool).
Incorrect: 他很漂亮 (Tā hěn piào liang). (He is beautiful/pretty) - This sounds unnatural and might be misunderstood.
Correct: 他很帅 (Tā hěn shuài). (He is handsome).
While 漂亮 can describe a good performance or outcome, it's not a direct synonym for 'good' in all contexts. For example, you wouldn't say '漂亮的天气' (piào liang de tiān qì) for 'good weather'. You'd say '好天气' (hǎo tiān qì).

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालYou can use 漂亮 to describe people or things. For example, '她很漂亮' (Tā hěn piàoliang) means 'She is very beautiful.' Or, '这件衣服很漂亮' (Zhè jiàn yīfu hěn piàoliang) means 'This piece of clothing is very pretty.'
'漂亮' is typically used for women or inanimate objects. While technically you could use it for a man, it's not common and might sound a bit odd or imply a more feminine beauty. For men, you'd usually use words like 帅 (shuài - handsome).
Yes, there are! Some common ones include 美丽 (měilì), which is also for 'beautiful' and can be used for people or scenery. 俊 (jùn) is often used for handsome men. 好看 (hǎokàn) is a more general term for 'good-looking' or 'nice-looking' and can be used for almost anything.
Both mean 'beautiful,' but '漂亮' is often used for a more surface-level prettiness or attractiveness, while '美丽' can describe a deeper, more profound beauty, like beautiful scenery or a beautiful heart. For example, '她很漂亮' (Tā hěn piàoliang - She is very pretty) and '这个地方很美丽' (Zhège dìfang hěn měilì - This place is very beautiful).
Not really for the taste! If you want to say food looks appealing, you might say '这道菜看起来很漂亮' (Zhè dào cài kàn qǐlái hěn piàoliang - This dish looks very pretty/well-presented). But to describe delicious food, you'd use 好吃 (hǎochī - delicious).
You'd add an intensifier like 很 (hěn - very) or 非常 (fēicháng - extremely). So, '很漂亮' (hěn piàoliang) or '非常漂亮' (fēicháng piàoliang).
A common opposite is 丑 (chǒu), meaning 'ugly.' So, '她不漂亮' (Tā bù piàoliang - She is not pretty) or '他很丑' (Tā hěn chǒu - He is ugly).
Sometimes '漂亮' can also describe something done well or in a 'neat' or 'excellent' way, like '这一球打得很漂亮' (Zhè yī qiú dǎ de hěn piàoliang - This shot was hit very beautifully/excellently). But its primary meaning is 'beautiful' or 'pretty.'
No, '漂亮' is an adjective, meaning it describes a quality. You wouldn't use it directly as a noun. You'd need a noun like 美女 (měinǚ - beautiful woman) or 美景 (měijǐng - beautiful scenery).
A common mistake is overusing it for everything that looks good. Remember its primary use for people (women), clothing, and general objects that are pretty. For food taste, use 好吃; for scenery, 美丽 is often more fitting. Don't use it for men if you mean 'handsome' – use 帅.
