How it's used

健壯 implies a visible, physical sturdiness that suggests a person is well-built and resistant to illness. While it can apply to anyone, it is most frequently used to describe children or the elderly to highlight their vitality despite their age. It carries a slightly more formal or descriptive tone compared to just saying someone is 好健康.

Examples

Common phrases

Common mistake

Avoid using 健壯 to describe someone who is merely muscular or bulky, as the term specifically emphasizes the combination of health and physical strength. If you only want to describe someone as physically fit or muscular, use 壯健 or 大隻 instead.
