How it is used
- Good-looking in a delicate, pretty way - 长得俊俏 (zhǎng de jùnqiào) to be pretty/handsome.
- Leans literary and warm; typically for young people, and often carries a hint of liveliness or charm beyond mere looks.
- Compare 漂亮 (piàoliang, plain 'pretty', everyday) and 帅 (shuài, handsome, for men) - 俊俏 is a more refined, slightly old-fashioned flourish.
