estimate of monetary worth
An official statement of how much money something like a company, house, or land is worth.
用法模式：
a valuation of [an asset]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse "valuation" with "value". "Value" is the amount itself (for example, $500,000), while a "valuation" is the official estimate or process that produces this number. Also, "evaluation" is more general and not always about money.
近义词
appraisal (Often used in real estate or insurance; can sound slightly more practical and less financial-technical than valuation.)
|
assessment (More general word for judging value; not limited to money, so it can be broader and less precise than valuation.)
反义词
undervaluation (Refers to judging something to be worth less than its true or fair monetary value, which is the opposite outcome of an accurate or high valuation.)

judgment of importance or worth
The opinion or judgment of how important or good something or someone is, not about money value.
用法模式：
valuation of [something]
常见错误：
Learners often use "valuation" here when "value" or "values" might sound more natural in everyday speech (for example, "our values" instead of "our valuation"). "Valuation" in this sense is mostly formal, academic, or philosophical.
近义词
evaluation (Very close in meaning; slightly broader and more common in everyday use, while valuation can sound more abstract or philosophical here.)
|
appreciation (Focuses more on recognizing value or importance in a positive way, while valuation can be neutral and analytical.)

Learners may confuse the technical sense of "valuation" in mathematics with its financial sense. In math or logic papers, "valuation" almost never refers to money; it refers to a formal function or assignment.
近义词
measure (In mathematics, a related but more specific concept; not all valuations are measures, and they follow different formal properties.)
|
assignment (Very general word for giving values, while valuation is a formally defined type of assignment in logic or algebra.)
