Extremely valuable or useful
Very, very useful or important; so helpful or valuable that it is hard to say how much.
用法模式：
to be invaluable to/for [someone/something]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes think "invaluable" means "not valuable" because of the prefix "in-". In fact, it means the opposite: extremely valuable or useful. They may also confuse it with "very expensive"; while it can be used for money value, it is more often about usefulness or importance (advice, help, experience, etc.).
近义词
priceless (Stresses that something is so valuable it cannot be given a price; slightly more emotional and often used for personal things like memories or art.)
|
indispensable (Emphasizes that something is absolutely necessary and you cannot do without it, more about need than value.)
|
extremely valuable (More literal and neutral, can refer to money or usefulness; lacks the strong idiomatic feel of "invaluable".)
反义词
worthless (Means having no value or use at all, the direct opposite of being extremely valuable or useful.)
|
unimportant (Focuses on lacking importance or significance, the opposite of something considered crucial or invaluable.)
