Showing tender, warm feelings, especially about love, family, memories, or the past — a 'sentimental gift' has emotional meaning to you, even if it's not expensive. It can be a nice quality (being caring and emotionally warm), but 'sentimental' can also be a mild criticism, meaning something is too soft, syrupy, or emotional in a way that feels a bit fake or over the top — like a 'sentimental movie' that tries too hard to make you cry.
多愁善感的、有紀念意義的(中性/正面用法);濫情的、過度煽情的(帶點批評的用法)
組成'Sentiment' (a feeling) + '-al' (adjective ending).
