Adjective 好(hǎo) good+verb 看(kàn)to look at=好看(hǎokàn), what do you think 好看(hǎokàn) mean?

Adjective 好(hǎo) good+verb 看(kàn)to look at=好看(hǎokàn), what do you think 好看(hǎokàn) mean?

Would it mean: Good looking?

好(hǎo) attached to a <verb> make that verb good to <verb>. So 好看(hǎokàn) is good to see. So if we were to say 这个女人很好看 (Zhège nǚrén hěn hǎokàn) it more or less means "this woman is pretty".

Hi Gabriela and Robert, Thank you for your postings. Both of you are right. I think good-looking is a better translation.
