shibo77 Posted May 23, 2005 at 11:58 PM Report Posted May 23, 2005 at 11:58 PM It can also mean noble or honoured. -Shìbó Quote
xiaomawang Posted May 24, 2005 at 02:27 AM Report Posted May 24, 2005 at 02:27 AM I think you'd better add 尊 before it. The only word 貴 could just describe cost/price i.e. expensive or cheap. 尊貴 will no doubt make you like a noble, if that's what you expect. Quote
lifesucks Posted May 26, 2005 at 06:47 PM Report Posted May 26, 2005 at 06:47 PM I agree that 贵 could also mean noble or honoured, as in 贵为天子 and 贵妇人, in both terms 贵 indicates a high social status, like that of an aristocrat. Quote
