HSK 4 Adverbs
不见得
Not necessarily with 不见得
Structure 不见得 + (statement)
不见得 (bùjiànde) negates cautiously: "not necessarily, it’s not certain that". 贵的不见得好 = "expensive doesn’t necessarily mean good". It pushes back on a taken-for-granted idea without fully denying it. It’s softer than a flat "no".
Examples
- 贵的不见得好。
Expensive isn’t necessarily good.
- 他不见得会来。
He won’t necessarily come.
- 这个办法不见得有用。
This method isn’t necessarily useful.
Levels are indicative: they follow the standard Chinese Grammar Wiki (AllSet Learning) progression, not an official HSK 3.0 mapping. We never assign levels by eye.
