Definition
大致 (dà zhì) means 'roughly, approximately' and is used for both numerical and non-numerical general descriptions. It is more formal and objective than 大概 (dà gài), which can also mean 'probably'. Unlike 差不多 (chà bu duō), which implies 'almost' (close to the actual), 大致 gives a broader, less precise approximation.
