"minor suit"的定义和意义

What is a "minor suit"?

A minor suit in card games like bridge refers to one of the two weaker suits in the deck: clubs and diamonds. These suits are ranked lower than the major suits, hearts and spades, and are often less valuable in terms of points. In bridge, bidding a minor suit generally means the player has a hand with fewer high-ranking cards, and the goal is often to win fewer tricks than when bidding a major suit. Winning tricks in a minor suit usually earns fewer points than in a major suit.
