Definition
尊贵 (zūn guì) describes someone of high social status who is honored and respected, like a 'distinguished guest' or 'noble family'. It focuses on the honor due to their position, unlike 尊敬 (zūn jìng) which is a formal adjective used before titles (e.g., 尊敬的先生), and 高贵 (gāo guì) which emphasizes noble birth or character rather than social rank.
