How to use 强度
强度 is a noun used for measurable strength or intensity, such as of materials, work, exercise, earthquakes, or signals. It often pairs with 高 (gāo) or 大 (dà). Example: 这种运动的强度很高。(Zhè zhǒng yùndòng de qiángdù hěn gāo.) This kind of exercise is very intense.
强 (qiáng) means strong, and 度 (dù) means degree or measure, as in 温度 (wēndù) temperature and 速度 (sùdù) speed. Put them together and 强度 is the degree of strength, a measured amount of how strong or intense something is.
Common mistake: Learners often use 强度 to describe a person as strong, but for people you say 强大 (qiángdà) or 坚强 (jiānqiáng). 强度 is a measured quantity, so say 强度很高 rather than 他很强度.
