用法筆記
Often paired with nouns that involve giving opinions or evaluations (feedback, criticism, advice, suggestion, discussion). The word carries a positive connotation — it implies the speaker wants to help build or improve, not to attack or tear down. For physical objects or repairs, use 'useful' or 'helpful' instead.
