Pro Tip
Avoid overusing in casual speech
模範的な is formal and best suited for written contexts or serious evaluations. In casual conversation, consider simpler terms like 素晴らしい (sugoi) or 立派な (rippa na).
Word Origin
From 模範 (mohan, 'model/example') + 的 (teki, adjectival suffix) + な (na, copula for na-adjectives). 模範 itself comes from Chinese 範模 (fàn mó, 'pattern/model').
Usage Notes
Used to praise someone or something that embodies high standards. Common in formal writing, reports, or evaluations.
