Expressing “Roughly / In General” with “dàzhì”

大致

dàzhì

How it works

大致 (dàzhì) means “roughly,” “in general,” or “approximately.” It is used when describing something in broad outline without going into all the details.

It is more formal than casual 差不多 (chàbùduō) and common in reports, explanation, and organized speech.

Example sentences

关于整个事情的发展过程,我只能先给你讲一个大致情况,具体细节还需要再核实。

Guānyú zhěng ge shìqing de fāzhǎn guòchéng, wǒ zhǐ néng xiān gěi nǐ jiǎng yí ge dàzhì qíngkuàng, jùtǐ xìjié hái xūyào zài héshí.

Regarding the development of the whole matter, I can only first give you a rough account; the specific details still need to be verified.

这些材料我已经大致看过一遍了,基本方向没有问题。

Zhèxiē cáiliào wǒ yǐjīng dàzhì kàn guo yí biàn le, jīběn fāngxiàng méiyǒu wèntí.

I have already gone through these materials roughly once, and there are no problems with the general direction.

从现有数据来看,我们可以大致判断这个趋势在短期内不会发生根本变化。

Cóng xiànyǒu shùjù lái kàn, wǒmen kěyǐ dàzhì pànduàn zhège qūshì zài duǎnqī nèi bú huì fāshēng gēnběn biànhuà.

Judging from the existing data, we can roughly conclude that this trend will not undergo fundamental change in the short term.

Key point

大致 (dàzhì) is useful when the speaker wants to present an overall picture rather than precise detail.
