How it's used

Expresses a deep, unwavering conviction that often borders on ideological or personal faith. While it shares the meaning of believing, it carries a much stronger, more serious weight than just thinking or assuming something is true. It is frequently used in contexts involving personal values, life goals, or moral principles rather than simple daily occurrences.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for casual opinions or minor predictions, as it sounds overly dramatic or formal in everyday small talk. For simple beliefs or opinions, use 覺得 or 信 instead.
