زمینه فرهنگی

The concept of 'strictness' is deeply rooted in Confucian values regarding education and self-discipline. In China, a 'strict' upbringing is frequently equated with a 'high-quality' upbringing, where discipline is a tool for future success. This has led to the popular, though sometimes controversial, 'Tiger Mom' archetype in global media.

💡

The 'Strict' Structure

Always use the pattern 'A 对 B 很严格' to say A is strict with B. It's the most natural way to use the word.

💬

Strictness is Love

If a Chinese friend says their parents are '严格', they might not be complaining. It's often a point of pride regarding their upbringing.

What It Means

严格 (yángé) is the go-to word for 'strict' or 'rigorous.' It describes a high standard that must be met. Think of it as a tight grip on rules. If a person is 严格, they don't let things slide. If a process is 严格, every single step must be perfect. It is about discipline and precision.

How To Use It

Using it is quite simple. You can place it before a noun or after a person. For example, 严格的老师 (a strict teacher). You can also use it with (duì) to show who is being strict with whom. 爸爸对我很严格 means 'Dad is very strict with me.' It often pairs with words like 要求 (yāoqiú - requirements) or 标准 (biāozhǔn - standards).

When To Use It

You will hear this a lot in schools and offices. Use it when talking about quality control at work. Use it when describing a coach who makes you run extra laps. It is perfect for talking about legal regulations or safety procedures. Even in daily life, you might use it for a strict diet or a tight schedule.

When NOT To Use It

Don't use 严格 to mean 'mean' or 'angry.' A person can be 严格 but still be very kind. It is about the rules, not the attitude. Also, avoid using it for physical tightness, like tight shoes. For that, you would use (jǐn). If a person is just stubborn, 严格 isn't the right fit either.

Cultural Background

In Chinese culture, being 严格 is often seen as a sign of love or responsibility. There is a famous saying: 'Strict masters produce fine apprentices.' Many parents believe being 严格 helps their children succeed in a competitive world. It is not about being a villain. It is about building character and ensuring excellence through high expectations.

Common Variations

You might see 严厉 (yánlì), which is more about a harsh or stern attitude. There is also 严谨 (yánjǐn), which means 'rigorous' in a scholarly or logical way. If you want to say 'strictly speaking,' you say 严格来说 (yángé láishuō). This is a great phrase to sound more sophisticated in a conversation.

نکات کاربردی

The phrase is neutral and very versatile. Just remember to use the '对...严格' structure when applying it to people, and avoid using it for physical tightness or serious medical conditions.

⚠️

Don't confuse with 'Serious'

Don't use '严格' for a serious situation (like an illness). Use '严重' (yánzhòng) for that. '严格' is only for rules and standards.
