How it's used

Refers specifically to a plot of land used for burial, often carrying a somber or eerie connotation. While it can describe a formal cemetery, it is frequently used to describe older, less maintained, or rural burial sites. It is distinct from the more formal or administrative terms used for modern, managed memorial parks.

Common mistake

Avoid using this word to refer to a single grave marker or tombstone, which is more accurately called 墳墓 or 墓碑. Using it for a single grave sounds like you are describing a large plot of land rather than a specific burial spot.
