How it's used

While often used for physical injuries to living beings, this term is equally common when discussing the condition of inanimate objects or goods. It carries a slightly formal or clinical tone compared to the more everyday 受傷 for people or 爛 for things. It is frequently used in professional or insurance contexts to describe the extent of harm sustained.

Common phrases

unharmed or undamaged
minor injury or damage

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 傷害, which specifically refers to the act of causing harm to someone, whereas 損傷 focuses on the resulting state of damage or injury.
