How to use 评价

评价 works as a verb meaning to evaluate and as a noun meaning an evaluation or review. It often appears with 高 or 好 to show a positive judgment, and online reviews are also called 评价. Example: 老师对他的评价很高。(Lǎoshī duì tā de píngjià hěn gāo.) The teacher thinks very highly of him.

评 (píng) has the speech radical 讠, so it is about judging with words, and 价 (jià) means price or value, as in 价格 (jiàgé). To 评价 is to use words to put a value on something.

Common mistake: Learners often use 评价 when they mean to criticize, but 批评 (pīpíng) is negative while 评价 is neutral and can be good or bad. Also keep the tones straight: píng is second tone and jià is fourth tone, not jiā.
