How it's used

Often used to refer to the space directly beneath an object or a lower position on a surface. When referring to a person or a subordinate, use 下屬 instead to avoid sounding like you are physically placing them on the floor. It is frequently paired with the particle 喺 to indicate location.

Common mistake

Do not use this to mean the lower part of a body or an abstract concept like a lower rank, as it sounds overly literal or physically spatial. Use 下面 specifically for physical locations.
