How to use 难度
难度 is a noun used to talk about how difficult a task, exam, or skill is, often with 高 (high), 大 (big), or 低 (low). Example: 这次考试难度很大。(Zhè cì kǎoshì nándù hěn dà.) This exam was very difficult.
难 (nán) means hard, and 度 (dù) means degree or measure, as in 温度 (wēndù) temperature. So 难度 is literally the measure of how hard something is.
Common mistake: Learners often use 难度 as an adjective, saying 这个问题很难度. Use 难 (nán) for "difficult" and keep 难度 as a noun, as in 这个问题难度很高.
