Definition
稀松 is a stative verb that can describe several loosely related qualities — usually referring to something that is not tight, strict, or serious. When applied to a person's attitude or work style, it means 'careless, sloppy, unconcerned.' When applied to matters or tasks, it means 'trivial, unimportant.' When describing physical texture (e.g., soil, fabric), it means 'loose, porous.' The context determines which sense is intended.
