Common contexts

Collocations and patterns

Notes

When using 定, it often implies a firm decision or arrangement has been made. It contrasts with verbs like "考虑" (consider) or "想" (think), which indicate uncertainty or deliberation. Avoid confusing 定 with 定义 (definition), which is a noun phrase.

In conversation, 定 can also appear in compound verbs or phrases to emphasize the act of deciding or fixing something firmly.
