How it's used
Use this term when listing specific components or items that make up a whole. It is common to pair it with 埋 to emphasize that something is also included in the total. While it functions similarly to the English include, it is often used in more formal or structured contexts compared to just saying 有.
Examples
This set meal includes drinks too.
How many items does your proposal include?

Common mistake
Avoid using it to mean containing something inside a physical container, such as a box or a bag; for that, use 裝住 or 有.
