How it's used
Focuses specifically on the assembly of temporary structures rather than permanent buildings. It is commonly used for scaffolding, stages, tents, or makeshift shelters. When referring to permanent construction like houses or skyscrapers, use 起 or 興建 instead.
Examples
They put up a tent in the park.
Can you help me set up the stage?
Related words
Common mistake
Avoid using this for permanent construction projects, as it implies a temporary or provisional nature. Using it to describe building a house sounds like you are constructing a flimsy, short-term shack.
