Kultureller Hintergrund
The phrase rose to prominence with the industrial revolution and the birth of modern branding. It became a standard marketing term in the mid-20th century to distinguish luxury goods from mass-produced items. Today, it is often associated with the 'minimalist' lifestyle movement, where people prefer owning fewer, better things.
The Hyphen Rule
If you put `high quality` before a noun (like `high-quality camera`), use a hyphen. If it comes after the noun (like `the camera is high quality`), no hyphen is needed!
Don't confuse with 'Quantity'
Be careful! `High quantity` means 'a lot of something,' while `high quality` means 'how good something is.' You can have a high quantity of low-quality socks!

What It Means
High quality is your go-to phrase for anything that feels 'premium.' Think of a leather jacket that lasts twenty years. Or a movie with amazing acting and beautiful scenery. It means someone put in the effort to do things right. It is the opposite of 'cheap' or 'flimsy.'
How To Use It
You can use it as an adjective before a noun. For example, high-quality food. Or you can use it after a verb like 'is.' For example, "This camera is high quality." Note that when it comes before a noun, we often add a hyphen. It is a very flexible phrase. You can use it for physical objects, digital files, or even abstract ideas like time.
When To Use It
Use it when you are impressed by how something was made. Use it at a restaurant to praise the ingredients. Use it in a job interview to describe your work style. It is perfect for product reviews or when recommending a brand to a friend. If you buy a new phone and the screen is crystal clear, tell your friends it is high quality. They will know exactly what you mean.
When NOT To Use It
Avoid using it for people's personalities. You wouldn't say "My brother is high quality." That sounds like you are trying to sell him on eBay! Instead, use 'kind' or 'reliable.' Also, do not use it for very basic things. A plastic spoon is rarely high quality, even if it works well. It might feel a bit too formal for a very messy, casual situation. If your friend makes a great sandwich, just say it's 'delicious.'
Cultural Background
In Western consumer culture, this phrase is a major selling point. Brands use it constantly in advertising to justify higher prices. There is a saying: "Buy cheap, buy twice." This means people prefer high-quality items to save money in the long run. It reflects a value for craftsmanship and durability over 'fast fashion' or disposable goods.
Common Variations
You might hear people say top-notch or premium. In business, they might say high-end. If you want to sound more casual, you can say it's the good stuff. If you are talking about a person's character in a rare, old-fashioned way, you might hear a person of quality, but stick to high quality for things and services to stay safe!
Nutzungshinweise
The phrase is universally understood and safe for all audiences. Remember to use the hyphen when it acts as a modifier before a noun.

The 'Premium' Vibe
In English-speaking countries, saying something is `high quality` is a huge compliment to a business owner. It suggests you think their hard work is visible.
