‘碰巧’ and ‘刚好’ - are they the same?
The English translation for these two words is almost exactly the same! How are they different? Do you use them in different ways?

If you're a native speaker - how would you use these words?

Thanks!

Answer

碰巧 = coincidence ; things just get right by chance  我在書店碰巧找到這本絕版書
剛好 has the meaning of "just right, just fits perfectly". Example: 這雙鞋的尺寸剛好。You won't use 碰巧  in this case. 
In some cases, both apply : 你手機壞了，我碰巧/剛好有隻備用的借你。
碰巧 here means "the spare phone is not particularly prepared for you, it just happen that you are in need of one"
剛好 here means "yours is broken and I have a spare. Everything just fits perfectly!"

Answer

两个词意思相同。
如：你看见Jay了吗？看见了，二十分钟前我刚好/碰巧在校门口遇见他。但是有时不能互换，因为搭配不合理。如：我刚好有二十元钱。不能换用碰巧。
