Definition
迫切 (pòqiè) describes a strong, deeply felt urgency, often for a need or desire (e.g., 迫切的需求 'urgent need'). It differs from 紧急 (jǐnjí), which refers to an external crisis requiring immediate action (e.g., 紧急情况 'emergency'). 迫切 is more about internal earnestness than external time pressure.
