How it's used

While the term is understood by everyone, native speakers frequently use the simpler verb phrase 曬太陽 in casual conversation. Using this term implies a more deliberate or leisurely activity compared to just being out in the sun.

The weather is so nice today, let's go to the beach for some sunbathing.
