How it's used
Carries a heavy, formal weight that is rarely used in casual daily banter. It is typically reserved for moral condemnation in news reports, serious discussions, or dramatic storytelling. Using it to describe minor mistakes or annoying habits sounds overly theatrical or sarcastic.
Examples
He has committed so many evil deeds, he will face retribution sooner or later.
How can you condone his evil deeds?
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 惡心, which means disgusting or nauseating. While both start with 惡, the former refers to immoral actions, whereas the latter describes a physical or emotional reaction to something unpleasant.
