Definition
超越 (chāo yuè) means 'to surpass, exceed, transcend' and often emphasizes going beyond abstract limits, barriers, or achievements (e.g., surpass oneself, transcend culture). It is more formal and lofty than 超过 (chāo guò), the everyday word for exceeding numbers or overtaking physically. 超出 (chāo chū) is narrower, focusing on exceeding a specific boundary or expectation.
