meaning - Difference between "valued" and "valuable"



Please explain the difference between "valued" and "valuable" when talking about goods. Which of them should be used to indicate intangible value and which to indicate price? For example, if a product is very useful and inexpensive, is it "valued" or "valuable"?


Answer



Valuable means something is likely to be valued by a lot of people.



Valued means it's definitely already valued by some people.



If a product is inexpensive, it may be valued by those who own it, but it can hardly be valuable.
