外形

外形 refers to the physical appearance or external shape of something or someone. It emphasizes how something looks from the outside, rather than its internal qualities or characteristics.

The character 外 (wài) means 'outside' or 'external,' and 形 (xíng) means 'form' or 'shape.' Together, they describe the outward look or structure of an object or person.

外形 is commonly used in contexts such as describing a person's looks, the design of an object, or the visual aspect of a product. It is often contrasted with 内部 (nèibù), meaning 'internal' or 'interior.' In daily conversation, it can be used in fashion, architecture, or even in describing animals or vehicles.
