What is the difference between 培养, 培育, and 养育? I understand they all have similar meanings. However, there are definite semantic differences. Can someone explain the differences in as much detail as possible? Many thanks.

1. 培养 focuses on cultivating people's abilities ,talents or habits eg: 培养成才(become an elite) 培养能力 培养习惯 2. 培育 the object is something or creatures in their beginning stage. 培育means helping them grow up or develop eg: 培育树苗(breed saplings) 培育孩子 培育互联网新模式(new mode of internet) 3. 养育 focus on parents' bringing up and educating younger kids eg: 养育孩子 So these three words have similaries and differences.

培养someone/something,but most of the times we use 培养someone,and the subjects are mostly institutions or nations.such as 国家培养了一批人才。 It also can be used as noun, like 感谢国家对我的培养。培养+habit, is the same as develop a habit.培养早睡早起的好习惯。 培育 is more like breed, we can say 培育 plants and animals. such as 袁隆平培育出了新型杂交水稻。 the subjects of 养育 are always parents or other people who raised you up.For example,父母养育我成人 or 感谢父母的养育之恩。
