- Overview 概述
- So how are these three words words different? We can answer this question from two points of view:
- 1. From a "parts of speech" point of view:
- 肯定 can be a verb, an adjective and an adverb.
- 确定 can be a verb or an adjective.
- 一定 can be an adjective or an adverb.
- 2. From a "significance or meaning" point of view:
- 肯定 often has a subjective, energetic feel to it。 It carries meanings like 认可 (approval), 同意 (agreement), and 保证 (guarantee).
- 确定 carries a feeling of objectively describing a situation. It carries the meaning of 决定 (to decide, to resolve).
- 一定 as an adjective has really broad uses, so you need to pay attention to the specific times it's used in. As an adverb, it is often used to give a reinforcing tone.
- 肯定 and 确定 can both be verbs, but their use and meanings are different. 一定 cannot be used as a verb.
