How it's used

While literally referring to traditional units of measurement, this term is now the standard way to discuss the physical dimensions of objects in daily life. It is frequently used in professional or technical contexts, such as furniture shopping or construction, to request precise measurements. Unlike the more general size, it implies a need for specific numerical values rather than just a qualitative assessment.

Common mistake

Avoid using it to describe the size of clothing, as that is almost exclusively referred to as 碼. Using 尺寸 for a shirt or trousers can sound overly formal or like you are measuring the fabric for a tailor.
