زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase reflects the traditional Chinese value of 'Zhongyong' or the Golden Mean. By 'reserving' an opinion or a right, one avoids direct conflict while maintaining their stance. It is also frequently used today in the context of urban planning, where people debate which old 'Hutongs' to retain versus modernize.
The 'Polite No'
If someone asks for your thoughts on a bad idea, say `我保留意见`. It sounds professional rather than mean.
Not for Pets!
Don't use `保留` for animals. If you 'retain' a dog, it sounds like you're keeping it in a lab. Use `养` (yǎng) instead.

What It Means
保留 is all about keeping things in their original state. It is like hitting the 'save' button on a document or a memory. You use it when you don't want to change, delete, or lose something valuable. It can be physical objects or abstract ideas like opinions.
How To Use It
Use it as a verb. You can 保留 a receipt just in case. You can 保留 your opinion if you disagree but want to be polite. It often follows a direct object. Just say what you are keeping right after the word. It is a very flexible and 'safe' word to use.
When To Use It
Use it when you are traveling and want to keep your ticket. Use it in business to say you 'reserve the right' to do something. It works great when talking about history or old buildings. If you are playing a game, you might 保留 your best move for the end. It sounds smart and clear.
When NOT To Use It
Don't use it for 'keeping' a promise; use 遵守 for that. Don't use it for 'keeping' a pet; use 养 instead. It’s not for physical 'holding' like holding a bag. If you are keeping a secret, 保守 is usually a better fit than 保留. Avoid it if the 'keeping' is just a temporary physical grip.
Cultural Background
Chinese culture values 'saving face' and moderation. Sometimes, 保留 is used to be polite. Instead of saying 'you are wrong,' someone might say they 保留意见 (reserve their opinion). This keeps the peace while showing they don't agree. It’s a classic way to navigate tricky social waters without being rude.
Common Variations
保留地 refers to a reservation (like for land). 毫无保留 means 'without any reservation' or 'giving your all.' You might hear this in love songs or motivational speeches. It means you aren't holding anything back. It’s the ultimate sign of trust and sincerity.
نکات کاربردی
It is a very safe, mid-level word. The biggest 'gotcha' is using it for digital saving (use `保存`) or booking a table (use `预订`). Otherwise, if you want to 'keep' something as it is, `保留` is your best friend.
The 'Polite No'
If someone asks for your thoughts on a bad idea, say `我保留意见`. It sounds professional rather than mean.
Not for Pets!
Don't use `保留` for animals. If you 'retain' a dog, it sounds like you're keeping it in a lab. Use `养` (yǎng) instead.
Total Honesty
The phrase `毫无保留` (háo wú bǎo liú) is a powerful way to tell a partner or best friend you are hiding nothing.
