对

In real, traceable use. Part of the curated seed collection; community review is coming.
Traditional: 對
Right, correct; 'yes, that's so'. On its own, 对! is the everyday way to agree, and 对不对? asks 'is that right?'. The opposite is 不对 'wrong'. As a preposition it means 'to, towards' a person or thing: 他对我很好 'he is good to me'.
Đúng, chính xác, không sai. Đứng một mình, 对！ là lời tán thành “đúng rồi”; hỏi lại “đúng không?” thì nói 对不对？ Trái nghĩa là 不对 (sai, không đúng). Làm giới từ thì nghĩa là “đối với, với”: 他对我很好 (anh ấy rất tốt với tôi).
AdjectiveRegister: neutral
