Definition
深厚 (shēn hòu) describes emotions, relationships, foundations, or skills that are deep and solid — like 'profound friendship' or 'solid foundation'. It combines 深 (deep) and 厚 (thick), so it implies both depth and substance. 深刻 (shēn kè) is more about intellectual depth (a profound thought or impression), while 深厚 emphasizes emotional or foundational solidity.
adjective
deepprofound (of emotions, relationships, foundations, or skills)
