How it's used

Focuses on the physical act of separating a part from a whole using a sharp instrument. It is often used in contexts involving precision or deliberate removal, such as surgery or harvesting crops. Unlike general words for cutting like 切, this implies a more forceful or slicing motion that results in a clean separation.

Common mistake

Avoid using this for cutting food into smaller pieces, which is better served by 切. Using it for food can sound overly aggressive or imply you are carving out a specific portion rather than just slicing.
