How to use 迷人
迷人 describes people, places, smiles, scenery, or voices that are attractive and captivating. It often follows 很 or appears before 的 to modify a noun. Example: 这里的风景很迷人。(Zhèlǐ de fēngjǐng hěn mírén.) The scenery here is enchanting.
迷 (mí) means to be lost or confused, and 人 (rén) is a person. Something 迷人 is so charming that it makes a person lose their way.
Common mistake: Learners sometimes write 谜 (mí, riddle) instead of 迷. The two look and sound alike, but 谜 has the speech radical 讠 and is not used in 迷人. Also keep 迷 in the second tone, not the third.
