How it's used

Used primarily to describe physical spaces like small rooms, crowded public transport, or tight seating arrangements. It emphasizes a lack of personal space or freedom of movement. It is distinct from 擠, which focuses more on the density of people in a crowd rather than the confined nature of the space itself.

Examples

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 迫, which is a verb meaning to force or pressure someone. While 逼挾 is an adjective describing a state of being cramped, 迫 is an action.
