How it's used
Primarily used in technical or formal contexts to describe physical or mental strain, rather than just a simple weight. It often implies that the capacity to bear something is being pushed to its limit. When referring to the weight of an object itself, people usually prefer using 重量.
Examples
The load on this machine is too heavy, it breaks easily.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe carrying physical objects in daily life, as it sounds overly academic or mechanical. Use 負擔 when talking about personal or financial burdens instead.
