Usage notes

Common mistakes

Do not use 夸张 as a verb directly followed by an object (e.g., 不要夸张事情). Instead, use it in structures like 把事情说得太夸张 or with 夸大. When used as an adjective, 夸张 describes something that seems exaggerated or dramatic.

Formality

夸张 can be used in both spoken and written Chinese. In colloquial speech, it can express 'ridiculous' or 'over the top' (e.g., 这太夸张了!).
