Definition
略带 combines 略 ('slightly') and 带 ('to carry') to mean 'to have a trace/hint of' — typically used with abstract qualities like coldness, sadness, or spiciness. It can also mean 'to mention briefly' (like 'touch on' an issue), though this usage is less common. The verb is often followed by an abstract noun or a topic phrase.
