How it's used

Focuses on the physical act of crossing a space or obstacle through the air. It is often used in more formal or descriptive contexts, such as news reports about aircraft or dramatic storytelling about stunts. For everyday casual movement across a space on the ground, other verbs like 過 or 跨過 are much more common.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for walking or driving across a bridge or road, as it specifically implies being in the air or performing a leap. Using it for mundane ground travel sounds overly dramatic or unnatural.
