定 (dìng) and 确定 (quèdìng) both have the meaning of "to fix, to decide, to order" and can also mean "certainly, surely". However, there are some differences between the two words.
定 (dìng) is a more general term and can be used in various contexts. It can mean "to fix" in the sense of making something stable or secure, such as 定居 (dìngjū) which means "to settle down". It can also mean "to decide" or "to order", such as 定价 (dìngjià) which means "to set a price" or 定期 (dìngqī) which means "regularly". In addition, 定 (dìng) can also mean "to determine" or "to specify", such as 定义 (dìngyì) which means "definition".
On the other hand, 确定 (quèdìng) is usually used in the sense of "to confirm" or "to make sure". It is often used to express a higher level of certainty or to emphasize the finality of a decision. For example, 确定 (quèdìng) can be used to confirm a date or time, such as 确定时间 (quèdìng shíjiān) which means "to confirm the time". It can also be used to express a strong conviction, such as 我确定他会来的 (wǒ quèdìng tā huì lái de) which means "I am sure he will come".
