Solid; sturdy; robust; strong; firm. Built or structured to withstand significant force or endure over time.

A na-adjective used primarily for physical constructions such as buildings, materials, and systems, though it can apply to abstract structures like legal frameworks or organisations. Implies a combination of strength and durability — not just hard but also reliable over the long term. Similar to 堅固 but with a stronger emphasis on structural robustness.
