How it's used
Specific to large, flat, or structural walls, this classifier emphasizes the physical presence or expanse of the wall. It is rarely used for small partitions or thin room dividers, where the general classifier 個 is more common. Using it helps convey a sense of scale or solidity when describing architectural features.
