How it's used
Focuses on measurable changes or observable outcomes rather than just general appearance. It often appears in formal reports, news, or professional settings to describe trends, data, or the efficacy of a specific intervention. While it functions as an adjective, it carries a sense of objective weight that makes it sound more serious than simply saying 好明顯.
Examples
He has lost a lot of weight recently, the results are very noticeable.
Does this policy have a significant impact on improving traffic?

Common mistake
Avoid using it to describe personal traits or minor everyday observations, as it sounds overly academic or stiff in casual conversation. For describing something that is just easy to see, stick to 明顯.
