Definition
癖好 refers to a hobby or interest that is often somewhat unusual, intense, or even obsessive — stronger than the neutral 爱好 (àihào 'hobby'). You can use it for a quirky personal habit or a long-standing passion that others might find a bit strange. It's a noun and is typically modified with 的 or preceded by a verb like 有 (to have).
