How it's used

Focuses on the sense of speed and power, often used in literary or descriptive contexts rather than casual conversation. While it can apply to horses, it is now most frequently associated with high speed vehicles like trains or sports cars. It carries a more dramatic or grand tone compared to simple verbs like 行 or 跑.

Common mistake

Do not confuse this with the brand name Mercedes Benz, which is also transliterated as 奔馳 in Hong Kong. Context usually makes it clear whether you are describing a vehicle in motion or referring to the car manufacturer.
