문화적 배경
The phrase reflects a pragmatic Chinese worldview where utility is highly praised. Historically, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners would use similar terms to describe the efficacy of herbs. Today, it is the ultimate buzzword in China's booming 'efficiency' and 'self-improvement' culture.
Boost the Intensity
If you want to sound even more impressed, add '非常' (fēicháng) or '十分' (shífēn) before the phrase. It turns 'obvious' into 'extremely obvious'.
Don't Use for People
Avoid saying a person is '效果明显'. You can say their *actions* or *progress* have an obvious effect, but calling a person an 'effect' sounds robotic.

What It Means
效果明显 is your go-to phrase for success stories. It means the outcome is visible and undeniable. You use it when a solution actually solves the problem. It is the verbal equivalent of a 'Before and After' photo.
How To Use It
Place it after a noun or a situation. You can say 这个药效果明显 (This medicine works wonders). You can also add 非常 (very) to boost the energy. It is a complete thought on its own. It sounds confident and observant.
When To Use It
Use it when reviewing a new skincare routine. Use it after starting a new gym program. It is perfect for business meetings to show progress. Use it when your new coffee machine finally makes a decent latte. It works for health, work, and lifestyle changes.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for emotional feelings or abstract art. If you like a movie, do not say the 'effect is obvious.' That sounds like you are grading a science project. Avoid it for people's personalities. It is about results, not vibes.
Cultural Background
Chinese culture values practical results and 'saving face' through efficiency. Being 'obvious' (明显) is a high compliment for any method or product. It implies that no one can argue with the success. It is a staple in Chinese advertising and health circles.
Common Variations
If you want to sound more casual, try 挺管用的 (quite useful). For a more poetic touch, use 立竿见影 (set up a pole and see its shadow). That means 'instant results.' But for daily life, 效果明显 is the gold standard.
사용 참고사항
This phrase sits in the 'neutral' register, making it safe for almost any situation. It is particularly common in advertisements and health-related conversations.
Boost the Intensity
If you want to sound even more impressed, add '非常' (fēicháng) or '十分' (shífēn) before the phrase. It turns 'obvious' into 'extremely obvious'.
Don't Use for People
Avoid saying a person is '效果明显'. You can say their *actions* or *progress* have an obvious effect, but calling a person an 'effect' sounds robotic.
The 'Face' Factor
In Chinese culture, giving feedback that the 'effect is obvious' is a safe and polite way to praise someone's hard work without being overly personal.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Yes! For example, if you put on a tiny hat and everyone starts laughing, you could jokingly say 效果明显 to imply the hat achieved its goal of being funny.
Not at all. It is very common in texts when discussing things like skincare, diets, or study habits. It sounds like you are giving a clear update.
有用 (yǒuyòng) just means 'useful.' 效果明显 is stronger; it means the results are so good that everyone can see them.
Usually, no. It almost always implies a positive or intended result. If a medicine makes you feel worse, you wouldn't use this phrase.
Simply add '不' (bù) at the beginning: 效果不明显. This is a polite way to say something is a waste of time or money.
Rarely. It’s better for functional things. For a movie, you’d say 感人 (moving) or 好看 (good to watch) instead.
Younger people might say 绝了 (jué le) which means 'amazing' or 'it's the best,' but 效果明显 remains the most accurate for results.
Absolutely. It’s a great way to describe your past achievements, like 我提高了工作效率，效果明显.
If the 'effect' is that your face turned red and you are sweating, then yes, you can say it jokingly!
A common mistake is forgetting the noun. Don't just say 明显. You need the word 效果 (effect) to clarify what is obvious.
