Pro Tip

Avoiding Misuse

轻视 focuses on the act of devaluing, not the emotion behind it. Use '鄙视' (despise) for contempt and '忽视' (ignore) for neglect.

Gold Rule

Context Matters

轻视 can be used in professional settings (e.g., '轻视客户意见') but is often subjective. Avoid using it in formal critiques where objectivity is required.

Word Origin

Composed of '轻' (light, unimportant) and '视' (to look, see). The combined meaning reflects the act of devaluing something through perception.

Usage Notes

Used in both formal and informal contexts. Often carries a negative connotation, implying arrogance or ignorance.
