The differences between 值得 and 值

We learnt the verb 值得,today we will have a look at the differences in the usage between 值得 and 值.

Language points

今天我们学习了“值得”的用法。有的时候在口语里也可以说“值”

下面我们看看“值得”和“值”的区别。

Both can mean it’s meaningful to do something or something is worth doing. For example:

这个调查对以后的工作很有用,花再多时间也值得/值。

你花了两个月的工资就买了一个包?真不值得/值。

Differences:

在表示这个意思时,值得 is used as a verb that can be followed by another verb or a clause, while 值 is used as an adjective is usually not followed by any other elements. For example:

这个调查对以后的工作很有用,值得花时间去做。

我觉得不值得花两个月的工资买一个包。

为这么点小事生气,一点儿也不值。

值得 and 值 both can be used as verbs, yet with different meanings. 值得 means the price is fair, followed by a verb or verb phrase, while 值 means the commodity is worth the price, followed by an amount of money. For example:

这个沙发值5000块。

这个沙发质量很好,价钱也不贵,值得买。

那本书不值100块。

那本书不值得花100块钱。

除了便宜,现在买这种行李箱还有什么好处?

如果你是李进,用你的话说说买行李箱时的情况。

 我想买一个轻一点儿的行李箱,售货员说这个行李箱不管从价格方面还是从质量方面看都值得考虑。现在商场有打折活动,打完折999,而且他们一年内负责免费修理。我觉得他们的服务不错,价格也可以,所以就买了这个行李箱。
