How it's used
Granite is a technical geological term that is rarely used in casual daily conversation unless discussing construction materials or interior design. When people talk about stone surfaces in homes, they often just use the generic term 石頭 or refer to specific types of marble or engineered stone instead. It is primarily encountered in formal contexts like architecture, civil engineering, or geography lessons.
