Definition
划得来 (huá de lái) means 'worth it' — the effort or cost is justified by the benefit. It's the positive counterpart of 划不来 (huá bu lái, 'not worth it'). Compared to 划算 (huá suàn), which focuses on cost-effectiveness or a good deal (often for purchases), 划得来 is broader, covering time, effort, and money in everyday speech.
