character 愧 (kuì) conveys feelings of shame or regret, often linked to a sense of moral failing or conscience. It is commonly used in contexts where one feels remorse for actions taken or not taken, and it can express a deep emotional response to personal or social standards.","Imagine feeling a pang in your heart (the shape of the character 愧 resembles a heart) when you realize you've done something wrong and feel embarrassed. The pronunciation 'kuì' can be remembered by associating it with the word 'quit,' as in quitting a bad behavior that makes you feel ashamed.","Be cautious of the tone when pronouncing 愧 (kuì); it is pronounced with a falling tone. This character is more formal and is often found in literary contexts or serious conversations regarding ethics and personal conduct. Common collocations include 愧疚 (kuì jiù, guilt) and 愧怍 (kuì zuò, shame).","While 愧 is not in the HSK vocabulary lists, it can be linked to other HSK words related to emotions and morality, such as 羞愧 (xiū kuì, to feel shame). Focus on understanding its use in expressing complex emotional states, as this can enhance vocabulary related to feelings.","In Chinese culture, feelings of guilt and shame are often tied to collective values and familial expectations, making the concept of 愧 particularly resonant when discussing personal honor and societal roles.",[684,687,690],{"a":685,"q":686},"愧 (kuì) focuses on a sense of regret or shame regarding one's actions, while 羞愧 (xiū kuì) combines the idea of shyness and shame, implying a more personal embarrassment.","What is the difference between 愧 and 羞愧?",{"a":688,"q":689},"Yes, but it is more commonly found in formal or literary contexts. In casual conversation, people might use simpler terms for feeling ashamed.","Can 愧 be used in everyday conversation?",{"a":691,"q":692},"Use 愧 when discussing moral or ethical feelings of shame, especially in reflective or serious discussions.","How do I know when to use 愧?","Learners often confuse 愧 with 羞 (xiū), which also means shame but carries a lighter connotation. For example, saying '我感到羞' (wǒ gǎndào xiū) is incorrect when referring to deep regret; it would be more appropriate to say '我感到愧' (wǒ gǎndào kuì).","愧 (kuì) vs 羞 (xiū) — use 愧 when expressing remorse linked to moral failing, while 羞 emphasizes embarrassment or shyness.","2026-03-24T11:03:25.000Z",{"title":21,"description":21,"og_image":21},{"es":698,"fr":699,"ja":700,"ko":701,"vi":702},"vergüenza, remordimiento","honte, regret","恥じること (はじること)","부끄러움; 후회","xấu hổ; hối hận",[],[],"/chinese-dictionary/chinese-to-english/hsk-0/%E6%84%A7-kui4/",{"hanzi":7,"pinyin":295,"tone":297,"tone_class":298,"first_gloss":400,"hsk_level":21,"radical":38,"stroke_count":36,"audio_url":301,"word_family":707,"slug":6},[446,452,458,462,468],[709,712,715],{"name":710,"url":711},"Dictionary","/chinese-dictionary/",{"name":713,"url":714},"HSK 1","/chinese-dictionary/hsk-1/",{"name":7,"url":705},{"senses":576,"pronunciations":11,"examples":608,"compounds":279,"words_with":717,"confusables":292,"flashcards":279,"quizzes":279,"checkpoints":599},20,{"defined_term":719,"learning_resource":728,"breadcrumb_list":738,"faq_page":746},{"@context":720,"@type":721,"name":7,"description":400,"inLanguage":722,"inDefinedTermSet":723,"url":727},"https://schema.org","DefinedTerm","zh",{"@type":724,"name":725,"url":726},"DefinedTermSet","HSK 1 Vocabulary","https://beta.mandarintemple.com/chinese-dictionary/hsk-1/","https://beta.mandarintemple.com/chinese-dictionary/chinese-to-english/hsk-0/%E6%84%A7-kui4/",{"@context":720,"@type":729,"name":730,"description":731,"educationalLevel":713,"teaches":732,"inLanguage":733,"learningResourceType":735,"isAccessibleForFree":9,"url":727},"LearningResource","愧 (kuì) — HSK 1 Chinese","Chinese 愧 (kuì): ashamed, regretful; the pangs of conscience.
