Study
Other than 旧, You may have come across another character for ‘old’, 老.
What’s the difference?
老 is used to describe ‘age’ or ‘aged’, most often of a living thing. 旧 can be used for inanimate objects.
For example,
旧时代 means ‘bygone times’.
It can also be used to express ‘worn’ or used items, such as 买旧的 meaning to buy second hand. A more literal translation of second hand is ‘二手’
