How it's used

This term is a specific regional way to describe shirts that open down the front. While many younger speakers now use the loanword 恤衫, this traditional term remains common among older generations or in more traditional contexts. It emphasizes the structural design of the garment rather than the material or style.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with general terms for clothing. Remember that it specifically refers to the button-down front design, so it would not be used for a t-shirt or a pullover sweater.
