Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

The word 有意 (yǒuyì) primarily means "intentionally" or "deliberately." It is used to express that an action is done on purpose rather than by accident. It can also imply having an intention or interest in something.

Common Contexts

  1. Expressing deliberate actions: 有意 is often used to emphasize that someone did something intentionally, for example, 有意迟到 (deliberately late).

  2. Showing interest or willingness: It can also be used in questions or statements to indicate someone's intention or willingness to participate or engage, such as 有意参加? (Are you interested in participating?).

Collocations and Patterns

Nuances

Using 有意 adds a tone of conscious decision-making. It is more formal and explicit than simply saying "" (want to) or "打算" (plan to). Avoid confusing it with "无意" (unintentional).
