How it's used
Carries a heavy, formal weight that is rarely used in casual, lighthearted conversation. It is typically reserved for describing someone who has committed truly heinous or unforgivable acts, often appearing in news reports or dramatic storytelling. Using it to describe minor misdeeds sounds overly intense and melodramatic.
Examples
He has done so many bad things, he is truly villainous.
This villain is so wicked, he will face retribution sooner or later.
Related words
Common phrases
a villainous criminal
Common mistake
Learners often mistake this for a common adjective like 壞, but it is a four character idiom that implies a sense of inevitable justice or karmic retribution. It is not suitable for describing someone who is just being annoying or slightly rude.
