用法
- 致 is a bound, fairly formal verb meaning to bring about or extend, most often seen as 'to cause' in cause-effect writing.
- 导致 dǎozhì (to lead to/result in) almost always introduces a negative outcome: 导致失败 (dǎozhì shībài) - leads to failure - while 以致 yǐzhì is the more literary connector 'with the result that,' also usually negative.
- 一致 yízhì means 'consistent/unanimous' (意见一致 opinions align), and is common in both speech and writing.
- 大致 dàzhì (roughly/approximately) and 精致 / 细致 (jīngzhì / xìzhì, both meaning 'delicate, meticulous' but 精致 leans toward exquisite craftsmanship and 细致 toward careful attention to detail) round out the family.
