How it's used
Focuses on the process of creating a lasting, negative relationship rather than just a momentary argument. It implies a lingering resentment that persists over time, often leading to a state of enmity where both parties avoid each other or remain hostile. It is frequently used to describe the long term consequences of a specific conflict or a pattern of offensive behavior.
Examples
You are so mean when you speak, it is very easy to develop grudges with others.

Common mistake
Learners often confuse this with 鬧交, which refers to the act of arguing itself. 結怨 is the potential outcome of an argument or a series of actions, not the argument itself.
