Definition
殷切 is a formal, attributive adjective (used only before a noun) that conveys deep, heartfelt eagerness — stronger than just 'eager'. It typically modifies nouns like 期望 (expectations), 关怀 (care), 希望 (hope), or 目光 (look), and carries a tone of sincerity and earnestness. You'll find it in written Chinese, speeches, and serious contexts, not casual conversation.
