Definition
全国性 is a noun formed with the suffix 性 (-ness, -ity), meaning 'the quality or scope of being nationwide' or 'national character'. Unlike the adjective 全国 (nationwide, which modifies nouns directly), 全国性 functions as a noun and is often used in formal or abstract contexts (e.g., 全国性活动 'nationwide activity', 全国性意义 'national significance').
