How it's used

This term is primarily used in formal or legal contexts, such as discussing intellectual property, human rights, or personal privacy. While it is understood in casual conversation, it carries a serious tone that implies a breach of boundaries or legal standards. It is rarely used to describe minor personal annoyances or physical space intrusions, where other more colloquial verbs would be preferred.

Common mistake

Learners often mistakenly use this for physical space, but it is not the right word for someone bumping into you or crowding you. For physical intrusion or trespassing, use 闖入 instead.
