How it's used

Focuses on a sense of purity and sharpness, often used to describe sounds like a bell or a singing voice. It implies a lack of muddiness or obstruction, making it a common choice for praising vocal clarity. While it can describe light, it is more frequently associated with auditory experiences than visual brightness.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with 明亮, which is the standard term for general brightness in a room or light source. Using 清亮 to describe a bright light bulb sounds unnatural, as it specifically carries a connotation of crispness or resonance.
