How it's used
This adjective captures the specific visual experience of being surrounded by thick fog or mist that obscures visibility. It is often used with the suffix 一片 to emphasize the extent of the haze covering an area. Unlike formal descriptions of weather, this term carries a slightly more descriptive and sensory feel, making it common in casual conversation.
Examples
It's all hazy outside, I can't see anything.
The weather is so bad today, the mountain is all misty.
Related words
Common phrases
a vast expanse of white haze
Common mistake
Do not use this to describe something that is just blurry or out of focus, as it specifically implies a white, atmospheric obstruction like fog or steam.
