Definition
恰好 (qià hǎo) is an adverb meaning 'just right' or 'as it happens', emphasizing that something fits exactly in size, time, or quantity, or that a coincidence is lucky. It is more precise than 正好 (zhèng hǎo), which is broader and can also mean 'just in time' or 'by chance'. Unlike 碰巧 (pèng qiǎo) and 恰巧 (qià qiǎo), which focus purely on coincidence, 恰好 carries a sense of exactness or perfect fit.
