How should I use 意味著?
Good afternoon!

I'm wondering if 意味著 is ever used in daily conversation? How would you use it?
If it's only used for more formal writing, how can I use it appropriately?

An example sentence would be really useful! :)

Cheers,

Jake

Answer

More colloquial way to say it would be "表示/说明/表明/....". But of course you can use it for speaking, here is an example “他不懂事难道意味着我就要一味迁就他吗”（Just because he is always being such a baby doesn't mean I have to put with him all the time)

Answer

意味着：含有某种意义，多用于书面语。(mean. it's more used for formal writing) 生产率的提高意味着劳动力的节省。坚持意味着收获。 科技发展意味着人类文明的进步。结婚意味着承担家庭责任。
