How it's used
Used primarily for physical scraps of paper left for someone, rather than digital messages. While it functions as a noun for the note itself, it is rarely used to describe the act of writing one, for which people prefer using 寫字條 or 留個訊息.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for formal letters or long messages, as it specifically implies brevity and informality. It is not interchangeable with 訊息 when referring to digital texts sent via mobile apps.
