Definition
偏好 (piān hǎo) is a noun meaning 'preference' or 'partiality' — a strong liking for one thing over others. It is more formal than 喜欢 and often used in contexts like taste, choice, or statistical preference. Unlike the verb 偏爱 (piān'ài, 'to favor'), 偏好 is a noun and cannot take an object directly.
