The Chinese word 大致 (dà zhì) is composed of two characters: 大 (dà), meaning "big" or "great," and 致 (zhì), meaning "to arrive at" or "to reach." Together, these characters form a compound word that means "generally speaking" or "on the whole."The word 大致 is often used to introduce a general statement or to summarize a point. For example, you might say 大致来说,我很喜欢这部电影 (dà zhì lái shuō, wǒ hěn xǐ huan zhè bù diàn yǐng), which means "Generally speaking, I really like this movie."The word 大致 can also be used to mean "approximately" or "more or less." For example, you might say 大致有十个人 (dà zhì yǒu shí gè rén), which means "There are about ten people."The word 大致 is a versatile word that can be used in a variety of contexts. It is an important word to know for HSK learners, as it is commonly used in both spoken and written Chinese.
