‘构格’ (gòu gé) is a formal noun meaning 'meeting the standard' or 'fulfilling the required qualifications'. Literally, 构 (gòu) means 'to form' or 'to constitute', and 格 (gé) means 'standard', 'criterion', or 'qualification'. Together, they express the idea of satisfying a set benchmark — often in official, academic, or professional contexts such as job applications, certification exams, or regulatory compliance. It’s commonly used in written Chinese and formal speech, rarely in casual conversation.

The term implies objective eligibility rather than subjective suitability — for example, scoring above a threshold on a test or possessing the minimum years of work experience. It frequently appears in phrases like ‘是否构格’ (Does [someone] meet the qualification?) or ‘构格人员’ (qualified personnel). Unlike more colloquial terms like ‘合格’ (hé gé), ‘构格’ carries a slightly bureaucratic or institutional tone, emphasizing formal criteria over general adequacy.
