How it's used
Focuses on the abstract quality or degree of danger rather than describing a person or object as dangerous. It is frequently used in formal reports, news, or discussions about safety protocols and risk assessment. While grammatically correct in speech, it sounds more analytical than simply saying 好危險.
Examples
The danger level of this job is very high.
Do you know how dangerous this place is?
Related words
Common phrases
assess the danger level
reduce the danger level
Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a person or a specific object directly, as it refers to the property of being dangerous rather than the entity itself. Use 危險 instead when you want to warn someone that something is dangerous.
