How to use 自豪
自豪 describes a positive, healthy pride, often about achievements, family, or one's country. It is commonly used in the patterns 为……感到自豪 or 以……为自豪. Example: 我为你感到自豪。(Wǒ wèi nǐ gǎndào zìháo.) I am proud of you.
自 (zì) means self, and 豪 (háo) means heroic or grand, as in 豪华 (háohuá). When you feel grand about yourself because of something you did, you feel 自豪.
Common mistake: Learners often use 骄傲 (jiāo'ào) and 自豪 interchangeably, but 骄傲 can also mean arrogant, while 自豪 is almost always positive. Also, do not say 我自豪你. You need 为 or 以, as in 我为你自豪.
