How it's used

Real estate listings and property discussions almost exclusively use this term to describe floor area. While the full term is standard in formal contracts, people often shorten it to just 呎 in casual conversation when the context of area is already clear. It is important to note that this is a unit of area, not length, despite the common shorthand.

This flat is about five hundred square feet.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 呎, which refers to a linear foot. Always clarify if you are talking about the length of a wall or the total area of a room to avoid confusion.
