How it's used

This term is primarily used to describe someone who is flashy or prone to overstating facts to impress others. It carries a slightly critical tone, suggesting that the person's behavior or spending habits exceed what is reasonable or modest. While it can refer to material extravagance, it is equally common when criticizing someone for being boastful or dramatic in their speech.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 誇張, which is a neutral way to say exaggerated. Using 奓 implies a stronger sense of disapproval or judgment regarding the person's character or lifestyle.
