形容 (xíngróng) is a verb that means "to describe" or "to depict" in English. It can also refer to the physical appearance or countenance of a person or thing.
Example 1: 他用生动的语言形容了他的旅行经历。(Tā yòng shēngdòng de yǔyán xíngróng le tā de lǚxíng jīnglì.) He vividly described his travel experience.
Example 2: 她的形容让我想起了我的妈妈。(Tā de xíngróng ràng wǒ xiǎng qǐ le wǒ de māmā.) Her appearance reminded me of my mother.

A more commonly used synonym for 形容 (xíngróng) in the context of "to describe" is 描述 (miáoshù).
描述 (miáoshù) specifically means "to describe" or "to depict," and is often used in both spoken and written Chinese. It emphasizes the act of detailing or recounting information about something.
In contrast, 形容 (xíngróng) can also refer to the appearance or characteristics of something, which adds a layer of nuance that focuses on physical attributes or general impressions.
Other related words include:
- 描绘 (miáohuì), which means "to portray" or "to illustrate," often used in artistic contexts.
- 叙述 (xùshù), meaning "to narrate" or "to recount," which is more about telling a story or relaying events.
In summary, while both 形容 (xíngróng) and 描述 (miáoshù) can mean "to describe," 描述 (miáoshù) is generally more focused on the act of description itself, whereas 形容 (xíngróng) can refer more broadly to appearance and characteristics.
