特徴 vs. 特色: Do You Still Think They Are The Same?

[wp-svg-icons icon=”arrow-right-2″ wrap=”span”] Characteristics / 特征 / 특징 / Đặc trưng
“特徴” means “Characteristics” and which has been used as the meaning of “unique qualities that make something or someone different from others”. The basic way to use it is “Aの特徴はBだ。(The characteristic of A is B.)”, etc. For instance, “このパソコンの特徴は小さい画面だ。(The characteristic of this computer is a small screen.)”, etc. The tips for using it are that “特徴” is used as the meaning of “UNIQUE POINTS FROM OTHERS” which is used for both “GOOD and BAD meaning”. Everybody could use it both in daily conversations as casual and in business situations as formal, such as “このパソコンの特徴は小さい画面だよ。(The characteristic of this computer is a small screen.)” as casual and “このパソコンの特徴は小さい画面です。(The characteristic of this computer is a small screen.)” as polite and lastly, “このパソコンの特徴は小さい画面になります。(The characteristic of this computer is a small screen.)” as formal. We’re not sure if a small screen is good or not, however, it’s a unique point. That is “特徴“.
