How it's used
Often used in the context of real estate or travel to describe the visual appeal of a location. It frequently appears as a suffix in compound words like 海景 or 山景 to specify the type of vista. When describing the general atmosphere or situation, it can also lean towards meaning a situation or state of affairs.

Common mistake
Avoid using it as a direct translation for the English word view when it refers to an opinion or perspective, as that would be 睇法 or 意見 instead.
