Definition
优质 (yōu zhì) describes the quality of a product or service as 'high-grade, excellent' — it's the go-to word for goods, materials, and services. It's more concrete than 优秀 (yōu xiù), which describes a person's performance or abilities, and less formal than 高档 (gāo dàng), which implies luxury or upscale status. 优良 (yōu liáng) is similar but broader, used for both quality and character traits.
