How it's used
Refers specifically to the quantity or volume of goods available in a market or inventory. It is a formal term often found in economic discussions, news reports, or business contexts rather than casual conversation. When discussing everyday items, people often prefer using simpler phrasing like 貨源 or 數量.
Examples
The market supply is very low, so prices are rising very quickly.
Do you know how much the supply of this product is?

Common mistake
Avoid using this word to describe the supply of services or abstract concepts, as it is almost exclusively reserved for physical goods or commodities.
