Definition
轻巧 describes two related but distinct qualities. For physical objects, it means light in weight, easy to carry (portable), or delicately crafted. For movements or skills (e.g., handiwork, dance, piano), it means done with ease, nimbleness, and dexterity. The word combines 轻 (light) and 巧 (skillful).
