What It Means

Think of this phrase as a heavyweight champion. It describes things that aren't just "good" or "useful." It marks things that truly change the game. It’s about impact and weight. Imagine you're at a wedding. You wouldn't just say the cake is "important." You'd say the union has "significance." That's the vibe here. It's about the soul of the matter. It tells everyone that this moment will be remembered.

How To Use It

The grammar is quite straightforward. You usually put your subject first. Then add 具有重要意义. For example: 这个决定具有重要意义. It means "This decision has important significance." You can also say 对...具有重要意义. This specifies who or what it affects. Don't worry about complex particles. Just drop it at the end of a sentence. It’s like a mic drop for importance. You’re telling your listener to lean in and listen.

When To Use It

Use it for big life moments. Graduation is a perfect time. Use it in business meetings to sound professional. It’s great for discussing history or science. Think about your first job offer. That's a 具有重要意义 moment. If you’re writing an essay, use it! It makes your writing feel authoritative. It shows you understand the big picture.

When NOT To Use It

Don't use it for the small stuff. Did you find a penny? That’s not it. Did you like your coffee? Don’t use this phrase. It’s too heavy for daily chores. Using it for a sandwich sounds sarcastic. Unless it’s the best sandwich on Earth! Your friends might laugh if you use it for a meme. "This cat video has important significance!" See? It’s funny but technically wrong.

Cultural Background

You’ll hear this on Chinese news constantly. It’s a favorite of anchors and officials. It reflects a culture that values long-term impact. In China, history is viewed in long cycles. This phrase helps connect the present to the future. It’s about legacy. It’s very common in political and economic reports. It shows you are a serious, educated speaker.

Common Variations

Try 具有深远意义 for things that last forever. Or use 具有里程碑意义 for a "milestone." If something is huge, say 具有重大意义. You can also use 具有现实意义. This means it matters right now. These variations help you avoid repeating yourself. They make you sound like a native speaker. Mix and match these to keep your Chinese fresh.

Notas de uso

This is a formal expression. Use it in writing, speeches, or serious personal contexts. Avoid using it for trivial daily activities unless you are being humorous.
