How it's used
Carries a formal and literary tone, often appearing in written compositions, news reports, or formal speeches to praise someone's character. While it is perfectly understood in speech, using it in casual daily conversation can sound overly dramatic or like you are reading from a textbook. It is most commonly paired with words like 精神 or 態度 to describe a person's mindset during a long struggle.
Examples
