How it's used
Refers specifically to a single surface or facet of an object or an issue. It is frequently used in abstract contexts to warn against narrow-mindedness, suggesting that a situation has multiple perspectives that should be considered.

Common mistake
Avoid using this to mean 'one face' in the sense of a person's physical face, as that would be 塊面. It is strictly for surfaces or abstract sides of an argument.
