HSK 1word

By Chinese Copilot · Last updated

觉得 (jué de) means "to think that" or "to feel that" something is the case. Use it before a clause or adjective to give an opinion or say how something feels to you. Ask 你觉得…怎么样？ for "what do you think of…?" Neutral de follows the CEDICT jue2 de5 reading.
