Character Breakdown

Meaning and Usage

The verb 预见 (yùjiàn) means to foresee or predict something before it happens, often based on analysis or insight. It is commonly used in formal or academic contexts, such as forecasting trends, risks, or developments.

Common Collocations

  • 预见风险 (yùjiàn fēngxiǎn): foresee risks, often used in finance or business.
  • 预见未来 (yùjiàn wèilái): foresee the future, used in strategic planning or visionary contexts.
  • 预见趋势 (yùjiàn qūshì): foresee trends, common in scientific or market analysis.

Usage Notes

When using 预见, the speaker implies a thoughtful or informed prediction rather than a guess. It often suggests a degree of certainty or preparation. Unlike simpler verbs like (kàn, to see), 预见 emphasizes anticipation and insight.

Common Confusion

Do not confuse 预见 with (jiàn), which simply means to see or meet. 预见 always involves a temporal aspect of looking ahead. Also, 预见 is more formal than 预测 (yùcè), which also means to predict but is often used in statistical or scientific contexts.
