How it's used
Primarily used in technical contexts involving software, hardware, or digital interfaces. It implies a deliberate change between two distinct states or modes, rather than a physical movement of objects. While it functions as a verb, it is rarely used to describe changing one's mind or shifting between physical locations.
Examples

Common mistake
Avoid using this for changing physical items or switching between people, as it sounds overly mechanical. For changing physical things, use 轉 or 換 instead.
