How to use 富有

As an adjective, 富有 describes people or families with money, often in writing. As a verb, it is followed by an abstract noun to mean full of a quality, as in 富有经验 or 富有创造力. Example: 他的讲话富有感情。(Tā de jiǎnghuà fùyǒu gǎnqíng.) His speech was full of feeling.

富 (fù) means rich and 有 (yǒu) means to have. Someone who is 富有 has riches, or has a lot of some quality.

Common mistake: Learners often use the verb sense with concrete things, as in 富有苹果. The object should be an abstract quality like 经验, 想象力 or 特色. Also keep 富 (fù, fourth tone) distinct from 福 (fú, second tone, blessing).
