How it's used
Refers specifically to a window made of glass, which is the standard type in modern Hong Kong homes. While the term is literal, it is frequently used when discussing household chores like cleaning or when describing damage during a typhoon. It is more common to specify the material than in English, where window often implies glass by default.
