How it's used
Focuses on the widespread adoption or trendiness of a specific item or behavior within a certain timeframe. It often implies a sense of momentum or a wave of popularity that sweeps through society, rather than just being generally liked. It is frequently used in formal or journalistic contexts to describe cultural phenomena, though it remains perfectly understandable in casual speech.
Examples
This style of handbag is very popular lately.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe a person who is popular among friends, as that is better expressed using 受歡迎. It is primarily reserved for inanimate objects, styles, or abstract trends.
