Definition
透彻 (tòuchè) describes an analysis or understanding that is deeply thorough and clear, reaching the core of a matter. It overlaps with 彻底 (chèdǐ, HSK5) in 'thoroughness', but 彻底 emphasizes completeness (doing something 'all the way'), while 透彻 highlights penetrating insight and clarity. 深入 (shēnrù, HSK5) is more about 'in-depth' exploration and can be a verb.
