How it's used
Used primarily when watching videos or audio recordings to skip ahead. It captures the physical action of moving the playback cursor forward. While it functions as a verb, it is often paired with particles like 啦 or 吖 to soften the request.
Examples
This clip is so boring, why don't we fast forward it?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 倒後, which means to reverse or rewind. Learners sometimes mix them up because both involve manipulating the playback timeline.
