- Simplified Chinese (China) Near fluent
they are both adj.
= surprising, astonishing
In most cases these two words are just with eachother replaceable. That is to say, there is only tiny differences between them:
惊奇 means feeling amazing and curious at the same time. It's more often unsed to describe a positive thing.
In contrast, it sounds with 惊讶 less curious, and to a certain degree this tone conveys even a negative premonition. Things that bring you the feeling of 惊讶 are always understood as a kind of “shock”
