How it's used
Describes a strong, often drafty or gusty wind that flows through a space or hits a person directly. It is frequently used to describe indoor environments where air circulation is strong due to window placement or high altitude. Unlike the general word for windy, it carries a sense of active, moving air rather than just the weather condition.
Examples
It is very windy outside today, remember to bring a jacket.
Your room is so windy, won't you be cold when you sleep?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the slang usage of 扯, which can mean to leave, to pull, or carry vulgar connotations depending on the context. Ensure the focus remains on the wind or air movement to avoid being misunderstood.
